· Why is Academic Integrity important (see syllabus)?

· Explain the difference between plagiarism vs self-plagiarism?

Your assignment must follow these formatting requirements:

· Use at least three - five (3 - 5) quality resources in this assignment. Note: Wikipedia and similar Websites do not qualify as quality resources.

· Be typed, double spaced, using Times New Roman font (size 12), with one-inch margins on all sides; citations and references must follow APA or school-specific format.

· Include a cover page containing the title of the assignment, the student’s name, the professor’s name, the course title, and the date. The cover page and the reference page do not count toward the page count.
