Directions (Follow these assiduously)

2. Type each exercise before inserting your answer.
3. Annotate all references via endnotes using IEEE format. Pay particular attention to the
“CITATIONS: IEEE Format” paragraph.
a. Plagiarism: Plagiarism is defined as "taking and using as one's own the writing or ideas of
another." All materials used to meet assigned written requirements of a course, from any source,
must be given proper credit by citing the source. A student caught plagiarizing a paper which
forms a part of a course grade shall be given an "F" in the course and will be subject to dismissal
from the University.
b. Wikipedia references are acceptable but not sufficient. You research must also
demonstrate the use of source references.
