Referencing

What referencing style should I use? Chicago or APA?

In the School of Education either method is acceptable. However, make sure you’re consistent and don’t mix and match reference styles.

Both methods involve citing the name of the author and the date of publication in the body of your essay, and then, the full publication details of that source in a reference list at the end of your work.
