If possible to create some graphical illustrations of the speaker’s main points,which will help the listener to create the connection between various main points.

a. General Conduct

• Using a direct quote from a source and not using quotation marks, in-textcitation, and reference.

another student, or arranging for another person to complete yourassignments for you.

website that buys or sells them. This also applies if only partially used instudent submission.

• Citing a source with fake bibliographical information.• Writing a paper for another student.• Submitting a paper, assignment, quiz or exam (or portion thereof) that you

submitted in a previous and/or concurrent class without requesting andreceiving in writing prior permission from your instructor(s).
