I don't have to do midterms yet ;) they changed it a few years ago that from grade seven until high school you only had to do finals :)

I'm confused, aren't all essays academic in some way? Or do you mean academic vs personal essays?

I probably have.

Ink, that's a pretty awesome group blog! I just checked it out. :)

I have only 17k left in my novel! It's a race to the finish.

It's an essay for uni.

My FB status:

In an essay, should you italize or underline a news article? And when do you cite the source? I've already mentioned the newspaper (online version!) and date. Help.

I meant the title of an article

Tally, already? The snow is coming my way, then. We're supposed to get at least 7 inches.

Thanks, the group blog is indeed fantastic! So many awesome fellow contributors :D

Lisa, it depends on what referencing system you're using. I tend to use Harvard or whatever specific reference system the department I'm submitting my work to requires (sometimes they specify, sometimes they don't). I think mostly you'd italicise the title, though, but again it depends. Sorry if that's vague and unhelpful, but referencing for Uni is usually fine whichever system you choose to use -- so long as you keep things consistent.

Dude, I literally had no idea what I was doing with referencing even at the very end of my first year...I was always like, "OMG DEPARTMENT GIVE ME GUIDELINES!"

I'm going to have to get better at referencing this year, since I'm switching over into law school and I've heard they're a bit tougher about these things.

Forgetting over the summer is a good excuse for everything :)

For some reason, it's so tempting to do something to do with Underdogs - even if it's just worldbuilding... Gah.
