      Footnoting in Assessments

      Learn how to enable footnotes in assessments and view footnotes in student submissions.

      Enabling footnotes

      To enable students to add footnotes for in-text citations, choose an appropriate referencing style that allows footnoting. Currently, Cadmus supports the following reference styles with footnotes:

      • AGLC
      • Chicago - Notes and Bibliography
      • MHRA
      • OSCOLA

      Students will only have the option to insert footnotes if one of these referencing styles is selected.

      Viewing footnotes

      You can view all footnotes in a student's submission below the body and above the references. There will be a footnote separator line between the body of the assessment and the footnotes.

      NOTE: Updating the referencing style in the assignment settings to one that doesn't support footnoting will not automatically remove footnotes from students’ work. You will still be able to view footnotes in student submissions unless the students remove them.
