Each answer should be written using your own words. Do not copy and paste
from your textbook or an Internet source. Simply copying from the book word-for-word
does not show me that you understand the concepts. If necessary, ensure you cite your
work and add reference(s) as required. This assignment is designed to see if you are
reading and understanding the material from your textbook and class lectures so these
should be the sources you are citing in your work. You should not find it necessary to do
research from additional resources unless the question specifically asks you to do so.
You should not be Googling the answers for these questions.
