How to add a class power point as a referene

Dennis.Po · 2024-10-16T03:43:46+00:00

I have a PP presented in class and my own I'd like to use as a reference in a paper. How do I add them as a reference I can cite? I see loads of chatter about a connector for powerpoint like word has, that is not what I'm looking for.

Thanks

(I think it's in most cases a questionable practice to cite class lectures -- you should find and cite the underlying scientific works, but that's just a sidenote)

You can add a new item, type presentation and then add basic metadata (the professors name, the date of lecture, "class slides" or so in the type field, etc. You can choose to attache the pptx file or not -- that part is irrelevant for the citation.

I guess I was more looking at citing my own, but included the instructor for context. Agree, on citing the underlying work though. I see the presentation, didn't see that before.
Thanks
