Challenges

4.1 Introductions

• Introduce yourselves and answer the question: if you were a tree, what sort of tree would you be? Here are some options if you need inspiration: birch tree, fruit tree, oak tree, palm tree, pine tree, willow tree.

• Create an Overleaf document and share this with the group by pasting the edit link in the chat.

Hint: If you're having trouble navigating Overleaf, please refer to our visual cheat sheet: Overleaf layout diagram.

Bonus challenge: Add a sentence to your shared document explaining why you chose your tree.

4.2 Referencing

• Research and find one article about your chosen tree on Google Scholar.

• Add a bibliography item of the article you found to a bibtex file (.bib) in your shared Overleaf document.

• Add the list of references into your main.tex file using the plain bibliography style.

• Each person should add a sentence explaining which tree they selected, and include an in-text citation using the \cite{ } command.

Bonus challenges:

• Find and add article, book and misc entry types.

• Change the referencing style to APA using the apacite package (or choose another bibliography style).

• Consider other referencing styles and figure out how to implement another one in LaTeX --- use an online search to help with this.
