This assignment is to be completed individually.

A printed copy must be provided. A softcopy must be sent through Safe Assign on BlackBoard. The two submissions should be the same. Submissions as email attachments will not be accepted. Your soft copy and hard copy are due at the beginning of class. If you plan to print your paper at CSC, allow plenty of time before class to do so. Others may be printing as well. The policy for late submissions is described in the syllabus and will apply to soft and hard copies submitted after the beginning of class.

For a limited period of time, you will be able to submit a draft version to Safe Assign to obtain feedback about plagiarism. After this period ends, you will have to submit the final version of the paper through Safe Assign.
