copy and paste from the subject references or any other references. It also
includes sharing the same text with your classmates or submitting an
assignment previously submitted by other for the same purpose or any other
purpose. Any doubt that two assignments include the same or even similar
text will result in rejecting both of them altogether and may result in failure
in the comprehensive exam. It is an individual work not a pair or a group
work.
2. You should also proofread your assignment before submitting it as grammar
and spelling mistakes may have a negative effect on your score.
