What happens if I do not reference properly or do not reference at all?
You will usually get marked on your referencing. This means you’ll lose marks if you don't reference, or if you don't reference properly.
However, referencing is important whether or not it will impact your marks. If you use information from someone else’s work and don’t reference it, it’s implied that those words or ideas are your own. This is a breach of academic integrity, and can have serious consequences.
This may also occur if you don’t reference properly. You should always reference sources correctly and consistently, according to the referencing style rules.
