A word about plagiarism: When you submit homework to an instructor, you are saying, “Unless I have noted otherwise with a citation, this is my own original work; these are my own words and my own original ideas.” Reading information online, understanding it, interpreting it, and summarizing in your own words is part of the work of learning. Using someone else’s words is like saying “I did this work” when you really didn’t. Do not copy and paste information from the internet for this assignment.
