    sir, should I use introduction and conclusion in the OSCOAL referencing style. moreover, can I make more readings to segmentize my assignment in OSCOLA?

    Great video! I used to teach academic skills and essay writing at various UK universities, and in 2013 SAGE Publications released the first edition of my book, Academic Writing and Grammar for Students. Over the past year, I’ve been working on a third edition, which just released! The book is a practical, accessible guide to writing essays using clear, appropriate academic language. At the end of each chapter, I recommend some other resources that my readers might find useful. For this latest edition, I wanted to include more multimedia and video content, so I thought you might be interested to know that I recommended this video at the end of my chapter on Referencing, as I think it’s a really useful resource that my students at any level could learn a lot from. I cover various referencing styles at quite a basic level, and thought this more in-depth explanation of OSCOLA would serve some students really well. If you’re interested in taking a look at my book, it’s the third edition of Academic Writing and Grammar for Students by Alex Osmond. I run a Facebook page for the book and it’s available through Amazon and other booksellers. But I just wanted to let you know that I’ve highlighted this excellent video to my readers!

    can you add a commentary to your footnotes? maybe some further explanation but you can't include it because of word count, can you add it to the footnotes?example Bolton v Stone (1951) AC. ( A reasonable Man is one who takes precautions against foreseeable harm).

    THE WAT STANDARD - SOUTH AFRICA “THE WATSON LEGAL ACRONYM STANDARD” For the use of a legislative names, as an acronym, in any written form, the following set of Rules shall apply, as the uniform standard for such acronym/s**. Rule One: “of”, “and”, “the” - Which are contained in the legislative name do not form part of its acronym. Example: Promotion of Equality and Prevention of Unfair Discrimination Act = PEPUD Act Rule Two: If the legislative name has two parts or less, the inclusion of the “A” for Act, forming part of the acronym is acceptable. Example: National Credit Act = NCA Criminal Procedure Act = CPA Domestic Violence Act = DVA Rule Three: If the legislative name has three parts or more, while further applying Rule One, the “A” for Act is then omitted from the acronym, and same is added at the end of the acronym, as “Act”. Example: Protection of Personal Information Act = PPI Act Electronic Communications and Transactions Act = ECT Act Public Finance Management Act = PFM Act Promotion of Access to Information Act = PAI Act Road Accident Fund Act = RAF Act Government-wide Immovable Asset Management Act = GIAM Act Kindly take note: The use of an acronym of an Act, shall by implication also include any Amendments to that legislation, unless the context in which the acronym implies otherwise. Example: Criminal Procedure Amendment Act 65 of 2008 = CPA ** An acronym is a word or name composed of the first letters of each word of a title or description. For example, SAPS is an acronym for South Africa Police Serve.
