Referencing - an alternative education tool

Assignment referencing expectations and plagarism awareness are important concepts in both school and the university. This site could be of interest for Community clients, HSC extension students, and to students from CME and SIBT.

The HSC: All My Own Work program is designed to help Higher School Certificate students to follow the principles and practices of good scholarship. This includes understanding and valuing ethical practices when locating and using information as part of their HSC studies.

It contains quizes and modules.

LaTeX - a document preparation system

LaTeX (pronounced Lay-Tek) is a document preparation system for high-quality typesetting. It is most often used for medium-to-large technical or scientific documents but it can be used for almost any form of publishing. It is increasingly used at Macquarie U by postgraduates in ICS (computing, mathematics etc).

A good site is at: http://www.latex-project.org/
Wikipedia has some quite clear articles e.g. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LaTeX

LaTeX contains features for:
Typesetting journal articles, technical reports, books, and slide presentations.
Control over large documents containing sectioning, cross-references, tables and figures.
Typesetting of complex mathematical formulas.
Advanced typesetting of mathematics with AMS-LaTeX.
Automatic generation of bibliographies and indexes.
Multi-lingual typesetting.
Inclusion of artwork, and process or spot colour.
Using PostScript or Metafont fonts.
