This is not a personal story, rather the objective view of a topic. Remember, plagiarism (copying other’s work) is cheating and is illegal. Therefore, if quoting directly from a source (book, person, internet, etc.), be sure to include quotation marks and identify the source in your paper. The assignment must be typed and around 4 pages in length. Photos may be included, but will not be considered part of the 4 page length. Include a title sheet with the title, your name, date, instructor’s name, course name and number. Evaluation is based on content, that is, the extent of the exploration of the topic.
