Plagiarism
All used sources must be properly acknowledged with references and citations, if you did not create it.
Quotations and paraphrasing are allowed but the sources must be acknowledged. Failure to do so is regarded as
plagiarism and the minimum penalty for plagiarism is failure for the assignment. The act of giving your
assignment to another student is classified as a plagiarism offence. Copying large chucks and supplying a
reference will result in zero marks as you have not contributed to the report. Copying from Youtube or other
videos is also plagiarism (including transcripts). Citation in a video can be included as credits at the end.
Due Date & Submission
By the due date, you must submit:
1. Name your file with your student number and name.
