Help me submit my assignment (Harvard & house style)

Hi, I want to go back to university as a mature student. And study my final year (top up degree).

The course manager said it should be fine but has asked me to do an assignment so he knows that I’m suitable for the course. I really enjoyed the assignment and could have easily done 10,000 words on the subject (he chose the subject!).

But I am more nervous about Harvard referencing and following the “house style” and submitting the paper than anything else.

I’ve done my Harvard reference list. And numbered them and have included the same numbering throughout the essay. I followed the instructions (similar to what I did before anyway) but am so worried about getting it wrong. For example I have done it like this but won’t include this actual website address. [1]

Reference List

Is that the right way? Just feeling nervous!

I didn't use Harvard referencing for my studies so can't chime in with any help with that, but I was wondering if the department has a style guide available on the university's website? It's worth seeing if you can find the info.

Apologies, I have just seen your update. That is fantastic news, OP! Well done.

Congratulations OP! Enjoy!

One thing I've found that helps is I do my reference list basically as I'm doing the pre-assignment reading - as I read something I do the fully formatted reference part at the end and then type the assignment in the gap in the middle.

By the end of doing an assignment I've usually lost the will to live and ever see it again - and knowing I've got that part done is a huge help.

The post above mine earlier today was newly added to the thread and was an advertisement for an admittedly prettily-packaged essay mill, which I duly reported. As I didn't quote the post, now it's been removed, it's gone.
