Pay careful attention to number 10, plagiarism. If I tell you the answers to this assignment, and you submit those answers as your own work, then you are guilty of plagiarism.

If you try to answer the questions yourself, and I or someone else gives you some guidance, then that is not plagiarism.

[mznena]

I understand but will you help me if I answer the questions and if they are not right when can you assist me more with them.

[mykwyner]

Either I, or one of the other teachers here, will help you.
