Guidelines for the Presentation of Essays
A major part of the assessment of students takes place by means of written assignments. The following notes are intended to help students present their work as well as possible.
Planning and Writing
A written assignment is expected to be a polished and well thought-out piece of work. As such it shows evidence of planning and organisation. This can be achieved by careful reading around the topic, by making an outline before writing, and by redrafting the essay several times. Care should be taken to understand the question or topic fully before writing.
Normally scholarly writing is addressed to an academic audience, but students should check on the particular expectations of individual lecturers and specific disciplines.
An essay is a unity of many parts. It has a title, which is typed on the top of the first page. This provides the reader’s first insight into what he or she is about to read. It should correspond both to the contents of the essay and to the topic set by the lecturer. An introduction informs the reader clearly about the intent of the essay and provides a stimulus to continue reading. Section headings may well be prompted by an outline and should show the general drift of the argument in the body of the essay. A conclusion summarises the findings and will sometimes need to justify what has gone on in the essay in relation to the original intention.
The quality of language is important. This involves choice of words, grammar, syntax and punctuation. Books are available which help in each of these areas. John Clancy and Brigid Ballard’s Essay Writing for Students (Melbourne: Longman Cheshire, 1991) is a currently popular general work. Often reading the next to final draft aloud will pinpoint awkwardness of expression, unclear formulation, typing mistakes, and even improper punctuation.
Language that would give offence to reasonable members of the community by reason of the way in which it implies or refers to gender is not acceptable.
Presentation
Assignments are written on A4 paper with at least a 3 cm left margin and a smaller right margin. Clearly legible handwriting penned on alternate lines is accepted, but typing is much preferred.
The text is double spaced, and the first line of a paragraph is indented. No extra space is left between paragraphs. Short quotations are placed between inverted commas, but quotations of more than three lines or of more than one sentence are typed single space without quotation marks, and the whole paragraph is indented four spaces. Quotations, however, should be kept to a minimum. Foreign words and titles of books are underlined or italicised. Pages are numbered.
Either footnotes or endnotes are acceptable. These are used for referencing and for providing the original language text of a quotation translated by the writer. Less frequently they are used for further argument that would not sit easily in the text and for recognition of tangential issues. In so far as it is possible, footnote numbers in the text should occur at the end of sentences after the stop so as not to distract the reader in mid sentence. Short Scripture references and the like are often better included within brackets in the text.
Plagiarism
Plagiarism is regarded as serious academic misconduct and complaints are dealt with by the Academic Misconduct Committee. All students have received a copy of the BBI Academic Misconduct Procedures, which are also available on the BBI website.
Plagiarism consists in intentional or unintentional use of somebody else’s words or ideas without proper acknowledgment. In our society and its academic establishments it is absolutely prohibited and can lead to severe penalties. Plagiarism is easily avoided by means of suitable methods of documentation which are discussed below.
Student assignments are usually heavily dependent on other sources, and often a student’s major achievement will be associated with the discovery and restatement of somebody else’s ideas. All written assignments must acknowledge these sources.
Misrepresentation
Misrepresentation is the giving of false or misleading information in academic matters. It includes falsely claiming credit for past study; falsely stating that thesis material has not been used in another thesis; submitting an assessment item that has previously been submitted in another course unit.
Documentation
Documentation has three purposes: acknowledgment of sources so as to avoid plagiarism; nomination of authorities in support of an argument; assistance to the reader in finding the original sources quickly and easily. It takes two forms:
- References, which occur in footnotes, give detailed information about specific parts of the text.
- Bibliography which lists the major works that are relevant to the essay and to its subject matter and that have been consulted in preparing the essay.
Different systems of documentation are used by different institutions and publications. They are explained in various style manuals. One may have to use different styles in different situations, but it is important to be well versed in one that is clear, consistent and complete.
The policy of this college is that references be by way of footnotes and in the style of Kate L Turabian’s A Manual for Writers of Term Papers, Theses, and Dissertations, 5th edition, revised by Bonnie Birtwistle Honigsblum (Chicago: The University of Chicago Press, 1987). Two adjustments are recommended:
- Final punctuation should be outside inverted commas according to Australian practice.
- Footnotes and footnote numbers are acceptable in whatever format a word processor does them..
Below are some common examples of materials and how to cite them. The first example [N] is such as you would use in your footnotes or endnotes. The second example [S] is for subsequent references in your footnotes or endnotes. The third example [B] is such as you would use in your Bibliography. The number in [N] references is a sample footnote number and has no significance other than that.
Most difficulties with respect to references can be resolved by recognizing that the reader needs sufficient information to find the precise text quickly and easily. In references, the abbreviations p., vol., etc., are used only when their omission would cause confusion.
Online sources that are analogous to print sources (such as articles published in online journals, magazines, or newspapers) should be cited similarly to their print counterparts but with the addition of a URL. Some publishers or disciplines may also require an access date. For online or other electronic sources that do not have a direct print counterpart (such as an institutional Web site or a Weblog), give as much information as you can in addition to the URL. The following examples include some of the most common types of electronic sources.

The most common use of telnet is for participation in real-time communication (see 7b-6).

To document a telnet site or a file available via telnet, provide the following information:
- Name of author or agency
- Title of document
- Date of publication
- Telnet address in angle brackets, with directions for accessing document

Gopher site
The gopher search protocol brings text files from all over the world to your computer. Popular in the early 1990s, especially in universities, gopher was a step toward the World Wide Web's hypertext transfer protocol (HTTP). Although the advent of HTML documents and their retrieval on the Web has diminished the use of gopher, many documents can still be accessed.
To document information obtained by using the gopher search protocol, provide the following information:
- Author's name
- Title of document
- Any print publication information, italicized or underlined where appropriate
- Date of online publication
- Gopher address, in angle brackets, with directions for accessing document
- Date of access, in parentheses
