I am one of those people who can not learn anything without writing notes, it's long winded and sometimes frustrating but it does seem the only way that things stay in my head. In reviewing the first reader on communication technologies I wrote a lot of mind maps, notes and quotes to help me understand what I was reading.
I was going to leave professional communications technologies behind as in my last post I decided I had gotten all I could from it, I think this is still the case but after talking to Hollie I decided to have a quick look through my notes, and as an exercise in getting to grips with studying again I have formed all of my learning into a kind of essay. The essay can be found at the link below...
Web 2.0
It's long, and I don't expect anyone to read it, but it did throw up some questions for me about Harvard referencing, as this is my first attempt at using it. I was wondering if anyone could help?
I found many quotes, which I scribbled down in my notes, but I also found that work I was reading also contained quotes from other sources.... which I wanted to use, so who do I use in my referencing, is it enough to simply reference the work I was using, or do I need to quote the person who originally made the quote or both?
Also, I used a lot of websites, have I referenced them in the correct way?
And finally I used some YouTube Video and quoted the interview. I found the video via Ahmetts blog, would I need to reference him?
And how exactly do I quote an interview from YouTube, or should I not use such sources in academic work?
By no means do I expect anyone to read the essay but if anyone has time just to skim and see if I am referencing in the correct way, or are having similar problems with it then maybe we could discuss? any comments or corrections would be really useful to me for future work.
