References

Oh my God! We have been three days talking about assertiveness, which I don't care because I believe it is important, but in two of those days we have been asked to do extra posts, so... How can I do 5 reflective posts about the same topic without repeating myself?

Anyway, I will try to talk about something at least a bit interesting and different from the previous blog entries: I will talk about citing references on a document

Today we had to search for some videos about assertiveness techniques, and then we had to talk about them on a document, so we had to reference the videos in a proper way. My first thought when we were told to do this was something like: "isn't it enough to put the URL of the video?" Obviously the answer was and is no

But what really positively surprised me was that there is an option when writing a document (for example in Microsoft Word) in which you can cite references automatically according to several standard styles. After knowing this, what came to my mind was that there are so many options and aspects of the "Microsoft Office world" that we don't actually know are there and what they are for... And the worst part of it is that nowadays (usually) we use this tool for nearly everything! And we don't quite know how to use its whole potential... 

So start investigating in this type of tools if you want to really get to know how much power they actually have!

Thank you for reading my blog! :)
