When to cite<br />

“If you didn’t write it, cite it!”<br />

Anonymous<br />

<br />

<br />

<br />

<br />

The underlying principle is that ideas and words <strong>of</strong> others in secondary<br />

sources must be formally acknowledged in your work.<br />

Citing occurs within the body <strong>of</strong> your text, after referring to or quoting<br />

another’s ideas with the author’s name, date <strong>of</strong> publication (and page<br />

numbers when a direct quote) in parentheses.<br />

You must also include a reference page at the end <strong>of</strong> your paper with all<br />

the referenced items in alphabetical order.<br />

You must cite when:<br />

o You base your ideas on another person’s work. Cite the author and the<br />

year in parentheses<br />

o Example: Leaders who want to develop learning organizations<br />

should focus on three architectural design elements – guiding<br />

ideas, theory, methods and tools and innovations and<br />

infrastructure (Senge et al, 1994).<br />

o You refer to an exact part <strong>of</strong> another’s work. Cite the author, year and<br />

page number in parentheses<br />

o Example: “Leaders intent on developing learning organizations<br />

must focus on all three architectural design elements. Without<br />

all three, the triangle collapses. Without guiding ideas, there is<br />

no passion… Without theory, methods and tools, people cannot<br />

develop the new skills and capabilities required… Without<br />

innovations and infrastructure, inspiring ideas and powerful tools<br />

lack credibility…” (Senge et al, 1994, 36-37).<br />

o These references must be included in the reference page at the end <strong>of</strong><br />

your document<br />

<br />

Exact citing format varies depending on the source (whether it is a book,<br />

journal article, newspaper, magazine or other source such as the internet)<br />

and what style guide is used. The two most common are the APA style<br />

and the Chicago style. In the next sections <strong>of</strong> this document, a hands-on<br />

guide for citing format by source and style is provided.<br />

2


In text citing<br />

Direct quoting within a paper:<br />

<br />

A quotation <strong>of</strong> fewer than 40 words should be enclosed in double<br />

quotation marks and should be incorporated into the formal structure <strong>of</strong><br />

the sentence.<br />

o Example:<br />

In July <strong>of</strong> 1990, “Apple Computer gave birth to a company called General<br />

Magic, put $10 million in its bonnet, and sent it on its way to capitalize on the<br />

emerging hand-held computer market” (Finkelstein, 2003, 23).<br />

<br />

A lengthier quotation <strong>of</strong> 40 or more words should appear (without<br />

quotation marks) apart form the surrounding text, in block format, with<br />

each line indented five spaces from the left margin.<br />

o Example:<br />

Like its computer industry rival, Apple was feverishly working on a<br />

portable, hand-held computer. Unlike its rivals, however, the company<br />

initially decided not to take on this challenge from within. So, in July<br />

1990, Apple Computer gave birth to a company called General Magic,<br />

put $10 million in its bonnet, and sent it on its way (Finkelstein, 2003,<br />

23).<br />

Examples <strong>of</strong> citing within your text:<br />

In Collins (2000), he states, “Good is the enemy <strong>of</strong> the great” (1).<br />

<br />

In his book Good to Great, Collins declares that “good is the enemy <strong>of</strong> the<br />

great” (2000, 1).<br />

Wait Lists (for “Full” or “Reserved” courses after term 1)<br />

<strong>Schulich</strong> maintains wait lists for Graduate Students who are unable to enrol into courses when<br />

they are full. Wait lists are assessed on a first come first serve basis. If you are interested in<br />

enrolling into a particular course that is full, reserved or restricted, you may add yourself to the<br />

the wait list by following the instructions below:<br />

Wait List Portal: waitlist.schulich.yorku.ca<br />

Definitions:<br />

Full: The course has reached its maximum seating<br />

Restricted: Seating for the course is based on enrolment-specific criteria e.g. J sections are only<br />

Wait list FAQS (Frequently Asked Questions)<br />

My position on the wait list is not listed, what does that mean?<br />

Your position on the wait list will appear once the priority wait list has been established.<br />

I am on three wait lists. How can I change my wait list selection?<br />

You can be on 3 active wait lists at one time. However, you may change your selections at any<br />

time. First, you will need to remove your name from a wait list or wait until a space has been<br />

'Granted' to you. Then you can add your name to more wait lists.<br />

What does status 'pending' and 'granted' mean?<br />

Pending means that you are on the wait list and a space hasn't yet opened up for you. If we can<br />

grant you a space, 'Pending' turns to 'Granted', and you then have one to three business days to<br />

enroll online. You will receive a Lotus Notes e-mail explaining this as soon as the space is<br />

granted to you.<br />

What do I do if I missed my chance to enroll during the one to three business days<br />

assigned to me?<br />

If you miss your chance, you can be added to the end <strong>of</strong> the wait list by contacting Student<br />

Services.<br />

Why do I sometimes have to 'start' a wait list?<br />

Once a course is full, a wait list is started. If you are the first to request that wait list, you will need<br />

to create one under 'Start a wait list'. You'll then see the course under 'View existing wait lists'.<br />

How do I know my position on the wait list?<br />

After the priority wait list period, you can see your position under 'Wait list status'.<br />

Who Monitors the Wait Lists?<br />

Staff in Student Services regularly reviews course enrolments and when space becomes<br />

available, assign spaces to students on the wait list. The Associate Dean, Academic, also reviews<br />

the wait lists on a regular basis to determine where there is demand for more space in courses.<br />

Why should I remove my name from a wait list if I'm not interested in the course anymore?<br />

Please remove your name so that the wait lists more accurately reflect all unmet demand for<br />

courses.<br />

It's the start <strong>of</strong> the term and I haven't been contacted yet. What should I do?<br />

Enrolment & Registration 19


We will continue to monitor the wait lists until the last day to enroll in courses has passed. Be<br />

sure to have alternate courses in case a space does not become available. Since attendance is<br />

mandatory at all classes, you may wish to attend the first class in addition to the classes you are<br />

enrolled in. This does not mean you will be admitted (in fact, depending on space you may not be<br />

permitted to stay). However, if you do not attend the first and second classes, it is not likely an<br />

instructor would accept you in the class.<br />

3. Registration<br />

Once you have enrolled into your courses, you are now ready to pay the remainder <strong>of</strong> your<br />

fees in order to be <strong>of</strong>ficially registered with the university. To check your fee schedule, please go<br />

1. Scroll down to “New Students” and select session (e.g. Fall/Winter 2010)<br />

2. Select <strong>Schulich</strong> <strong>School</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Business</strong><br />

As returning students in future terms you will access your personalized fee statement using<br />

the “Continuing Students” section instead.<br />

The balance <strong>of</strong> your Winter fees (the entire tuition fee rate minus the confirmation deposit)<br />

are due on January 10. Summer fees are due on May 10 and Fall fees are due on September<br />

10.<br />

The fees are posted to your student account online at<br />

https://apps2.sis.yorku.ca/Apps/WebObjects/oss. You will need your Passport <strong>York</strong> account to<br />

access this online. Transaction listings are updated frequently and statements are posted about<br />

the 18 th <strong>of</strong> the month, with payment due on the 10 th <strong>of</strong> the following month. (Paper copy <strong>of</strong> the<br />

2 COMPUTING REQUIREMENTS<br />

2.1 DESKTOP OR LAPTOP COMPUTER<br />

You need a desktop or a Laptop computer that can run Windows and Micros<strong>of</strong>t Office applications. Any<br />

desktop computer or laptop computer bought in the last three years or so should be sufficient for your<br />

computing needs.<br />

BUYING A COMPUTER<br />

The ideal choice would be a wireless (Wi-Fi) enabled laptop. It will<br />

allow you to connect to the wireless network from the classrooms and<br />

the common areas throughout the campus. The network ports for<br />

connecting to the wired network using an ethernet cable are also<br />

available throughout the campus in classrooms, hallways, breakout<br />

rooms, library, etc.<br />

HP <strong>of</strong>fers special pricing for some <strong>of</strong> the<br />

items on their consumer product lines for<br />

<strong>Schulich</strong> students.<br />

<br />

<br />

Go to www.hpshopping.ca/epp<br />

Use affiliate code SSB34GGCAL<br />

Choose your computer from major brands and get at least two year replacement warranty. Also, make sure all the<br />

s<strong>of</strong>tware is pre-installed and you are provided with the s<strong>of</strong>tware CDs (if any) and the system recovery CD.<br />

We also recommend buying a laptop that supports Tablet PC features such as pen-based computing.<br />

Micros<strong>of</strong>t’s website for more information about Tablet PC features.<br />

Please visit<br />

2.2 RECOMMENDED SOFTWARE<br />

You need Micros<strong>of</strong>t Office applications to work on your assignments and presentations.<br />

MICROSOFT OFFICE<br />

You can buy Micros<strong>of</strong>t Office Pr<strong>of</strong>essional Edition from Data Integrity, the campus computing store at <strong>York</strong><br />

Lanes Mall, at a heavily subsidized rate. Alternatively, you can buy Micros<strong>of</strong>t Office Home & Student Edition<br />

from the retail chains such as FutureShop, Staples, etc. Please avoid buying Micros<strong>of</strong>t Office Basic Edition, because it does<br />

not include Micros<strong>of</strong>t PowerPoint - which is an essential application.<br />

2.3 INTERNET CONNECTIVITY AT HOME<br />

You can access all the services, such as <strong>Schulich</strong> email, course materials databases, group databases, library<br />

resources, etc., remotely over the internet. We strongly recommend that you subscribe to a high speed internet<br />

WIRELESS NETWORK – AIRYORK<br />

Air<strong>York</strong> wireless access is available throughout the <strong>Schulich</strong> Building and other locations in main campus. It is also available<br />

in Miles S. Nadal Downtown Management Centre. Air<strong>York</strong> Wi-Fi is based on “802.11 b” wireless technology. Almost all <strong>of</strong><br />

the current laptops come with 802.11b/g capability built-in. However, if your laptop does not have the wireless capability<br />

built-in, you can buy an 802.11b/g/n wireless card that plugs into your laptop.<br />

CONNECTING TO AIRYORK:<br />

1) Start your laptop and make sure your wireless<br />

card is enabled. Wait for a minute or so for your<br />

connect to it.<br />

2) Start your browser and it will automatically<br />

redirect you to the login page shown in picture on<br />

7 LOTUS NOTES EMAIL<br />

The email service <strong>of</strong>fered at <strong>Schulich</strong> is based on Lotus Notes platform from IBM. The email product that we use is called<br />

7.2 SENDING EMAIL AND USING THE ADDRESS BOOK<br />

CREATING A NEW MESSAGE<br />

To compose a new email, click on the “New Message” option in the top menu and it will open the window shown in the<br />

When you finish composing your message, click on Send on the top menu bar to send the email message.<br />

PAGE 9


30-MINUTE GUIDE TO ACADEMIC COMPUTING 2011<br />

7.3 MAINTAINING YOUR ACCOUNT<br />

CHECK EMAIL FILE SIZE<br />

Your email account size is limited to 200 MB and it cannot be increased. When your account size exceeds the limit, you may<br />

not be able to receive all your emails. It is a good practice to maintain your account size below 80% <strong>of</strong> the limit. You can<br />

check email file size as shown below.<br />

DELETING EMAIL AND EMPTYING TRASH<br />

Deleting a message does not completely remove the email from your account – it just places the email in the Trash folder.<br />

Depending on your “s<strong>of</strong>t delete” setting (by default 48 hours) it remains in your Trash folder. If you want to recover<br />

mailbox space quickly then “Empty Trash” and the space will be released by the server within the next 6 hours.<br />

REPLYING WITHOUT ATTACHMENTS<br />

When replying to an email with attachments, choosing ... without Attachment(s) option (if attachments are no longer<br />

needed) would help you to conserve space in your account as well as your recipients’ accounts.<br />

PAGE 10


30-MINUTE GUIDE TO ACADEMIC COMPUTING 2011<br />

7.4 FORWARDING (REDIRECTING) YOUR EMAIL<br />

Forwarding your emails involves some risk. When you forward your emails the incoming messages are redirected to the<br />

forwarding email account before they reach our email servers, and hence they are not copied on to our system. If you lose<br />

your email during transit we would be unable to recover it since it is beyond our control.<br />

7.5 SETTING YOUR ACCOUNT PREFERENCES<br />

You can customize your account settings for email and calendar by clicking on Preferences. For example, you can create a<br />

standard closing for all your messages by choosing the menu options Mail and then Signature.<br />

PAGE 11


30-MINUTE GUIDE TO ACADEMIC COMPUTING 2011<br />

8 COURSE MATERIALS DATABASES<br />

The instructors use one <strong>of</strong> the following three web applications for distributing<br />

course materials online to the students: Course Material Database (CMD),<br />

Moodle and Learning Space. These databases can be accessed from the student<br />

portal. You can find the links to your registered courses on the left column in the<br />

My Course Links section. Almost all the courses use CMD and very few courses<br />

use Learning Space or Moodle.<br />

8.1 COURSE MATERIAL DATABASES (CMD)<br />

The Course Material Databases are simple databases where the instructors post the lecture slides, assignments, handouts,<br />

etc. Usually the students are NOT given access to post messages in the CMDs.<br />

PAGE 12


30-MINUTE GUIDE TO ACADEMIC COMPUTING 2011<br />

8.2 LEARNING SPACE<br />

Lotus Learning Space is an e-Learning<br />

platform. It is consists <strong>of</strong> a collection <strong>of</strong> four<br />

databases. Similar to the Course Material<br />

Databases, Learning spaces are also used by<br />

the instructors to post the lecture slides,<br />

assignments, handouts, etc. In addition,<br />

Learning Space can also be used for online<br />

discussions and team work on assignments.<br />

8.3 MOODLE<br />

Moodle is a new web based learning<br />

management system that was launched last<br />

year. At the moment, only a few courses are<br />

using Moodle. You can see the list <strong>of</strong> the<br />

courses that are <strong>of</strong>fered using Moodle at<br />

http://moodle.schulich.yorku.ca. You can<br />

login only if you are already registered for at<br />

least one <strong>of</strong> those courses.<br />

PAGE 13


30-MINUTE GUIDE TO ACADEMIC COMPUTING 2011<br />

9 GROUP DATABASES<br />

Each course will, generally, have one or more group projects. You can use Group databases to store all the documents<br />

related to a particular group project in one central place so that all the team members can easily access.<br />

9.1 CREATING GROUP DATABASES<br />

One <strong>of</strong> the members <strong>of</strong> a group creates the database and provides access to other members.<br />

The creator <strong>of</strong> the database automatically becomes the manager <strong>of</strong> the database. You can<br />

have up to three databases that you created and be a member <strong>of</strong> any number <strong>of</strong> databases.<br />

Note: Please do not use the group databases for 601 (MGMT 6100) projects since these<br />

databases are deleted at the end <strong>of</strong> each term.<br />

10.1 LOTUS SAMETIME<br />

10 WEB CONFERENCING<br />

Lotus Sametime can be used for simple text based chat or audio/video web conferencing. Sametime also supports<br />

document sharing (whole team can view a Word document being edited on one person’s machine), desktop sharing (let<br />

someone control your desktop remotely to help you with a problem), whiteboard, etc.<br />

You can launch Lotus Sametime from the student portal from the link in the Useful Links window.<br />

ATTEND A MEETING<br />

You can look up the open meetings by clicking on the button Attend a Meeting. If the meeting is password protected the<br />

meeting facilitator would have to provide you the meeting password by email or other means to enable you to join the<br />

meeting.<br />

SCHEDULE A MEETING<br />

Click on the button “Schedule a Meeting” and invite others by email or phone. You can set the security level to open<br />

meeting (anybody can join), password protected, or unlisted meeting. In the case <strong>of</strong> an unlisted meeting, the invitees need<br />

to know the name <strong>of</strong> the meeting in order to join it.<br />

10.2 SKYPE<br />

Skype (recently acquired by Micros<strong>of</strong>t) is free web conferencing tool that is good alternative for Lotus Sametime to have a<br />

quick online meeting.<br />

Skype is available for download from www.skype.com. You can call other computers using Skype (free) or even regular<br />

phones (requires paid subscription). Skype works very well for quick audio conference sessions (up to 15 participants) using<br />

the built-in microphones in the laptops. The s<strong>of</strong>tware (as shown in the picture on the right) looks like other popular instant<br />

messenger programs, and it can handle text, audio and video chat sessions.<br />

To use Skype:<br />

1. Go to Skype web site and download the s<strong>of</strong>tware.<br />

2. Install Skype and create an account.<br />

3. Add your classmates as contacts using their Skype usernames.<br />

Now you are ready to have an audio conference with your contacts.<br />

11 EMAIL USAGE POLICY<br />

11.1 EMAIL USAGE POLICY<br />

OFFICIAL MODE OF COMMUNICATION<br />

The <strong>Schulich</strong> <strong>School</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Business</strong> treats Lotus Notes email as one <strong>of</strong> the <strong>of</strong>ficial modes <strong>of</strong> communication. <strong>Schulich</strong> faculty<br />

and staff will send out <strong>of</strong>ficial notices using Notes email. You are expected to monitor your email account regularly.<br />

REDIRECTING YOUR MAIL TO AN EXTERNAL ACCOUNT<br />

You can choose to redirect your email to an external account. However, it is your responsibility to ensure that the receiving<br />

email account is functioning properly. We cannot guarantee that the redirected mail will reach your external account, since<br />

it is beyond our control. If your forwarding address is non-functional and the forwarded mail bounces back, your<br />

forwarding address will be removed by the administrator.<br />

MAINTAINING YOUR ACCOUNT<br />

It is also your responsibility to maintain the size <strong>of</strong> the disk space used by your account. Keep your mail file under the 120<br />

MB space allocated to your account by saving attachments to your machine, deleting the old mail, using team databases for<br />

group projects, using <strong>Schulich</strong> email only for <strong>Schulich</strong> related activities, etc.<br />

SENDING MASS MAIL<br />

The <strong>Schulich</strong> <strong>School</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Business</strong> prohibits individual students from sending mass emails to groups contained in the Lotus<br />

Notes email address book. The Department <strong>of</strong> Information Services & Technology, the GBC, and the UBC would like to<br />

make it clear that abuse <strong>of</strong> the system through the use <strong>of</strong> mass emails is strictly prohibited and anyone sending<br />

unauthorized mass emails will be penalized. Only the executives <strong>of</strong> the two student organizations, the Graduate <strong>Business</strong><br />

Council and Undergraduate <strong>Business</strong> Council, are allowed to send mass emails. If you have information or questions that<br />

you would like to pass on to the general student population please contact the appropriate council and they will forward<br />

your request, where appropriate, or direct you to other electronic mechanisms, such as discussion groups, which you can<br />

use.<br />

OFFENSIVE CONTENT<br />

Sending messages with “<strong>of</strong>fensive” content using your <strong>Schulich</strong> email account is prohibited. "Offensive content" includes<br />

(but is not limited to) messages that contain pr<strong>of</strong>ane, vulgar or <strong>of</strong>fensive language, messages that are defamatory <strong>of</strong><br />

individuals or groups, messages that advocate religious, political or ideological positions, and messages that have a<br />

commercial purpose. Penalties for <strong>of</strong>fensive content will be geared to the specific circumstances, but could include<br />

suspension or cancellation <strong>of</strong> Notes accounts, disciplinary actions under university-wide regulations, and (in extreme cases)<br />

actions initiated in the civil or criminal courts. Common sense should be sufficient to make sure that you have no trouble in<br />

this regard. However, if in doubt, please check with IS&T/UBC/GBC before you send the message.<br />

<strong>Schulich</strong> puts a great deal <strong>of</strong> emphasis upon group work in various components <strong>of</strong> your MF<br />

program. However, group work is sometimes difficult, challenging each individual and each<br />

group in unique ways. These challenges can provide exceptional opportunities for doing great<br />

group work, and for your own learning. One <strong>of</strong> the best ways to ensure that these challenges<br />

turn into opportunities is to get some objective, outside assistance for your group(s). As such,<br />

<strong>Schulich</strong> is <strong>of</strong>fering a results based, non-evaluative, and confidential resource to help with the<br />

central challenges and struggles <strong>of</strong> group work. For example, we can help you with strategies<br />

and tools pertaining to:<br />

o<br />

o<br />

o<br />

o<br />

o<br />

o<br />

o<br />

o<br />

o<br />

Leveraging diversity<br />

Brainstorming and making decisions<br />

Managing conflict<br />

Dealing with interpersonal issues<br />

Dividing up tasks<br />

Encouraging each other<br />

Staying motivated<br />

Being heard<br />

Managing personality differences<br />

If your group is dealing with challenges in these or other areas, e-mail Stephen Friedman. He is<br />

available to facilitate your groups as needed – confidentially! Stephen teaches ORGS courses in<br />

the MBA and BBA programs at <strong>Schulich</strong> and is also a well known coach/consultant in Toronto,<br />

specializing in teaching business people about various aspects <strong>of</strong> group and interpersonal<br />

communication. He holds an M.A. and an Honors B.A. in Psychology and is a Ph.D. candidate<br />

in Applied Psychology & Adult Education.
