  2. Complete this task individually. Collaboration with others is not appropriate in this assessment, and measures are in place to identify this.
  3. Write this task in your own words, referencing relevant ideas as appropriate. All Cadmus submissions are checked for possible plagiarism and contract cheating using Turnitin.
Submissions that do not follow these guidelines will be investigated as a potential breach of the university's Academic Integrity Policy: [insert link to university policy].
