Compare the pair: Refero vs Regretto

Compare the pair.  

Same course. Same assignment. Same due date. 

Yet somehow one student submits with confidence while the other is scrambling the night before. 

Meet Refero and Regretto. 

Refero 

• Builds a reference list as the assignment develops.
• Notes page numbers for important quotes. 
• Records citation details while sources are still fresh. 
• Submits with confidence. 

Regretto 

• Leaves referencing until the last minute. 
• Has 47 tabs open “just in case”. 
• Is convinced future Regretto will remember where that quote came from. 
• Discovers future Regretto is not nearly as organised as expected. 

Be more Refero and less Regretto. 

 Before you start your next assignment: 

• Establish a note-taking routine. 
• Keep references, notes and citations together. 
• Use the Library’s referencing guides when you’re unsure of a citation style. 

A few minutes spent getting organised at the beginning can save hours of time later.
