3002 questions use of I and referencing a source in a sentence

A couple of questions that I have responded to...

1. Can you can use the I in the critical review (?) which is a bit of more formal writing and 2. Asking about how to reference a source within a sentence. 

1.Yes you can use I (as opposed to the third person - one), but as you explain thinking processes and experience it is good not to 'overuse' I as you talk to the Reader. Your academic adviser will most likely review your draft and can be more explicit within your writing.

2. Usually sources from your literature or web sources are referred to using the author's last name e.g. Nottingham said... And then in brackets the year (2011) like other Harvard sources. If you are talking about someone from the BAPP group within your commentary, first names should be fine. Whenyou have siad to someone that you going to anonymise- you use a psuedonym, their role e.g. he Director said, or Dancer A, Dancer B.
