Yeah, it looks something like the kind of citation you just
used.
I've been using this citation format ever since in was taught to me
in Yr 1.
However, when I took an Arts GEM in Yr 2, the lecturer took me to
task for using this form of citation. She claimed that she had
expected the use of the Harvard standard, and expected me to redo
the whole bibliography and in-text citations.
I told her straight in the face in an exasperated voice: ' This is
called the APA standard. This is the standard taught to all Engin
students by the CELC!!! With all due respect, Dr xxxxx, YOU DIDN'T
SPECIFY TO US WHICH CITATION FORMAT TO USE! Since you didn't
specify, why is it wrong for me to just use a citation format which
I'M ALREADY FAMILIAR WITH?!?!'
Luckily she was smart enough to see the logic of my argument and
accepted it.
