PROFESSOR TAIARAHIA BLACK - WAIREKA MĀTAURANGA

Today’s presentation revolves around the facility of referencing; accurate citation, gathering primary sources, narratives and how to integrate these into your own interpretations when you are undertaking research.

• For people who are teaching research, being aware of where the students come from so that a meaningful relationship can be built in and around the plan for their research proposal.

• The importance of acknowledgement - any researcher who sets out to do research needs to keep a diary of 'who, when, where, how...'.
