Copying large chucks and supplying a reference will result in zero marks as you have not contributed to the report. Copying from Youtube or other videos is also plagiarism (including transcripts). Citation in a video can be included as credits at the end.   Due Date &Submission By the due date, you must submit: 1. Name your file with your student number and name. 2.
