Use APA style. (See http://library.humber.ca/APA-MLA) 4. WARNING: DO NOT PLAGIARIZE - USE A PAGE REFERENCE EVERY TIME YOU EITHER QUOTE ARTICLES, OR SAY WHAT IS IN THE ARTICLE IN YOUR OWN WORDS. YOU CAN JUST PUT THE LAST NAME OF THE AUTHOR AND THE PAGE NUMBER IN BRACKETS AFTER WHAT YOU WROTE. Important: All too often, students risk being charged with plagiarism because they have failed to note the source of their ideas, when there would have been no problem at all with their essay if they had only indicated their sources. 5. Always keep a copy of any work you submit. It is quite rare, but occasionally papers do get lost, and you need to be ready to provide another copy of your paper if requested. 6. Your assignment needs to be typed. • Respect the rules of basic English grammar, for example noun-verb agreement (he thinks, they think). • Never use words that you don't fully understand. • Do NOT repeat yourself. Repetition may result in a loss of points. • Ensure that you include all these documents in your assignment: 1. Cover sheet 2. Assignment 3. Works Cited sheet (references sheet) • This take home assignment is not a research paper. As the result, you need to rely on the article as the main source of reference.
