In April, Academic Support will conduct two workshops to help you develop your report writing skills.

Report Writing Workshop 1
Monday 22 April, 2 pm (AEST), allow up to 1 hour 30 minutes

This workshop identifies the major components of a report. The differences between essay and report writing are highlighted. Student participation in examining and discussion of the commonly required report components for NTI assessments ensues. Attention is also given to the language and layout used in report writing. This workshop is recommended for any students who are asked to write a report as part of their assessment requirements.

Report Writing Workshop 2
Monday 29 April, 2 pm (AEST), allow about 1 hour

This workshop examines in greater detail the report components that only some of the NTI subjects require such as an abstract, table of contents and appendices. This workshop is recommended for any students who are asked to include report components in their assessments which are not covered in depth in workshop 1. This will usually apply in some MH and HSW subjects and can be ascertained by checking the relevant Learning and Assessment Guide.

The NTI Harvard Referencing Guide has been updated to include a variety of new tips and examples to assist you with referencing during your studies. NTI Harvard is the style used across all programs in NTI, and should be the first tool you turn to when working on assessments. 

If you have saved a copy of the guide, please ensure you download our new updated version so you have all the latest guidance. The guide is available from the Library website and the Assessment Support Guide in NTiLearn, and can be accessed directly here: https://www.nantien.edu.au/nti_harvardreferencing_guide/

In March, Academic Support invites you to learn about the purpose and art of Referencing through a series of three practical workshops. This series aims to equip you with the necessary skills and techniques to 1) use sources with integrity within your assessments and 2) reference these sources as per academic requirements at NTI.

Workshop 1: Referencing Basics
Monday 11 March, 2 pm (AEDT), 1.5 hours

This workshop is designed to provide you with a thorough understanding of why referencing is key in academia. By guiding you as you engage in quoting, paraphrasing and summarising activities, the aim of this workshop is to give you the tools and strategies needed to draw on sources with elegance and integrity to build your argument in any assessment.

Workshop 2: Mastering Referencing, Part I
Monday 18 March, 2 pm (AEDT), 1.5 hours

This workshop consists of activities designed to teach you how to format standard references at NTI. The aim of this workshop is to equip you with the skills to use the NTI Harvard Referencing Guide for sources that you will encounter throughout your studies.

Workshop 3: Mastering Referencing, Part II
Monday 25 March, 2 pm (AEDT), 1.5 hours

This workshop consists of activities designed to teach you how to format non-standard references at NTI (including canonical sources). The aim of this workshop is to equip you with the skills to use the NTI Harvard Referencing Guide, as well as provide you with some advice on how to create and maintain Reference Lists.
