ASSIGNMENT 2 SEMESTER 2
2026
DUE 4 SEPTEMBER 2026
Question 1
1.1 The correct Harvard method for an in-text reference to the study guide would be to use the
University as the corporate author. An example of a narrative citation would be: According to the
University of South Africa (2024), the principles of social justice are foundational to the module. For
a parenthetical citation at the end of a statement, one would write: The concepts of restorative
justice are central to this discussion (University of South Africa, 2024). If you are quoting a specific
idea or section directly, you must include the page or section number to give a precise reference,
for instance (University of South Africa, 2024, p. 15).
1.2 In the bibliography, or list of references, the study guide must be given a full bibliographic entry
so that the reader can easily locate it. The correct format is the author's name and initials, the year
of publication in brackets, the title of the study guide in italics, the place of publication, and the
publisher. A correctly formatted example for your SJD1501 module would be: University of South
Africa. (2024). SJD1501: Study Guide for Social Dimensions of Justice. Pretoria: University of South
Africa. This detailed entry ensures you have fully credited the University as the source of the
information.
1.3 To avoid any form of plagiarism when completing this assignment, I will apply several key
academic practices. Firstly, I will ensure that I acknowledge all sources by providing accurate in-text
citations, as described in 1.1, for every idea, argument, or fact that I use from the study guide or
any other source . If I use a direct quote, I will place the exact words in quotation marks and include
the page number in the citation . When I paraphrase, which involves putting the author's ideas into
my own words, I will still provide a citation to acknowledge the source of the idea, making sure the
new wording and sentence structure is entirely my own to avoid a form of plagiarism known as
patch-writing . I will also compile a complete list of references or bibliography at the end of the
assignment, which will include the full details of the study guide as shown in 1.2 and every other
source I have cited . Finally, I will complete and sign the academic honesty declaration, which
confirms the work is my own and that all sources have been acknowledged, a practice required by
the university's policies to maintain academic integrity .
