Annoyed Student,
Its sounds very unusual that your lecturer at uni insists on TW being an
assessment tool. I am impressed and very interested in your case,
and what the three assignment questions are. I think it would be good for
the TW comunity to have evidence of use in academic assignments. Tw is not
'promoted' in the universities I've been to in the UK as such, but there are
many examples globally
For a submission for an assignment, you could hide the sidebar, the area of
the page which contains orphans. You would have to add some CSS to the
StyleSheet to do this.
Make link to references from a tiddler like this one, titled
'Procrastination'
Procrastination
============
Bach, writing in the [[Buccaneer Scholar]], emphasizes heuristics as
learning tools, paying particular attention to procrastination

Then create another tiddler, add the formal reference to it. Use the Zotero
Firefox extention to grab the refenced, and drag it into the tiddler.
Buccaneer Scholar

You could tag each reference with a tag, then you can make a list of them
automatically in a tiddler using the tagging macro.
<<tagging references>>
A norm for referencing seems to to be the Harvard system [1], but there are
lots of methods. I'd check with your uni library.
Being annoyed certainly is a good approach to scholarship with a long
tradition and one I advocate. However I have found that when computers are
involved, a tao or zen heuristic may me better
