Assignment 2 2026
QUESTION 1: REFERENCING AND PLAGIARISM
1.1 Illustrate how you would in-text reference the study guide. (3)
When information from the PEN3707 study guide is used in an assignment, the source
must be acknowledged in the text. In the Harvard referencing system, an in-text
reference normally contains the author's surname and the year of publication.
For example, when paraphrasing information from the study guide, I would write:
Planning is a systematic process through which an organisation determines its current
position, where it wants to go and how it intends to achieve its objectives (Clack &
Jonker, 2016).
Alternatively, the author's name can form part of the sentence:
Clack and Jonker (2016) explain that planning is a systematic process through which an
organisation determines where it is, where it wants to go and how it will get there.
If the exact words of the author are quoted, the page number must also be included. For
example:
“Planning is a thinking process as well as a doing process” (Clack & Jonker, 2016:2).
Therefore, the appropriate in-text reference depends on whether the information has
been paraphrased or quoted directly.
