paraphrasing

"You are greeted inside by parallel rows of massive columns that recall the façade of an Egyptian temple, vividly banded in red and blue. Above, projecting walkways and ‘seminar balconies’ zig-zagging around the walls add to the theatrical feel, as do the lattice-sided stairs that criss-cross the interior space like something imagined by Escher or perhaps Piranesi. It's an eclectic and exuberant mix of colours, styles and materials: colourful, a touch vulgar even, but undeniably exciting.”

Once inside the building you face rows of massive Egyptianate columns, banded in blue and red. Above you are walkways and balconies which feel theatrical, while the criss-cross lattice-sided stairs are like something Escher might have imagined. All in all, it is an interesting and exuberant mix of styles and colours. Some might think it is a bit vulgar but you can’t deny that it is exciting.

Does this constitute plagiaris

m?

option 1paraphrasing:

Sarah Woodward (1997) thought that the Judge Business School’s walkways and balconies felt theatrical as well as putting her in mind of Escher. Although she regarded the overall look as exciting, she did wonder if it was all a little vulgar.

option 2quotation:

Sarah Woodward (1997, p.61) described how she was “greeted inside by parallel rows of massive columns that recall the façade of an Egyptian temple, vividly banded in red and blue and referred to the lattice-sided stairs that criss-cross the interior space like something imagined by Escher.”

Harvard Referencing Style

Has anyone used it before?

https://www.flickr.com/photos/kirstea/5169765739/

Harvard Style Referencing

Harvard Style is the preferred referencing style at CJBS but you can use other styles provided you are consistent.

Harvard Style is essentially:In text: Author, Year, (and sometimes) Page NumberAt end: Full reference in bibliography

There are no footnotes with Harvard Style.

Harvard Style Referencing

Worked example for a book:

Direct quote in your text (or ‘in-text citation’):“When in doubt, go to the library” (Rowling, 1998, p. 189).

Reference in bibliography:Rowling, J.K. (1998) Harry Potter and the chamber of secrets. London: Bloomsbury.

Harvard Style Referencing

Paraphrase in your text:Jackson (2011) for instance believes we should take into account our body language when communicating with others as Harry did when he first met Buckbeak.

N.B. Paraphrase someone’s ideas and words by all means BUT unless you add a reference its plagiarism

Reference in bibliography:Jackson, J. (2011) ‘Still casting a spell: 10 things that you can learn from Harry Potter’, Public Relations Tactics, 18(8), pp. 17-17.

Harvard Style Referencing

Worked example for a website:

In-text citation:It’s not too late to brush up on your magical history of North American magic and the differences between Native American and European wizards of the 17th Century… (Rowling, no date)

Reference in bibliography:Rowling, J.K. (no date) ‘History of magic in North America’, Pottermore, Available at: https//www.pottermore.com/collection-episodic/history-of-magic-in-north-America-en (Accessed: 30 September 2016).
