For further assistance, please email our librarians at liblearn@smu.edu.sg and let them know what you're struggling with (your question) and what you've attempted (your solution) - this will help them understand your thought process and know how to guide you. Please note that they will not help to check your reference list.

Also, do not leave things to the last minute! Generally, our librarians will get back to you within 3 working days, so do plan ahead for your submissions.
