Important notes:
Please write in full sentences, unless the question clearly states that it is fine to use point form for
the answer.
Please do not simply copy and paste sentences, phrases or parts of, in the answers to the
questions. This may result in grade of 0 (zero) for the respective answer. Instead, please
paraphrase or summarize (put into you own words) the material.

many other assignments and courses), feel free to consult the following resources: https://integrity.mit.edu/handbook/academic-writing/avoiding-plagiarismparaphrasing

questions, or essays when a comparison or comparative approach is needed, etc.): https://writingcenter.unc.edu/tips-and-tools/comparing-and-contrasting/

Given the very short length of the assignment, please do not use any quotations (which are – in a
sense – just another form of copy & paste, but with proper referencing).
The answers will be assessed primarily in terms of quality of content/substance, and how well
they answer the corresponding question, but also in terms on structure, organization and internal
coherence of the answer/paragraph. While no points will be deducted for individual grammar or
spelling errors, if an answer has too many errors that can impede the understanding of the ideas,
or lead to a superficial or confusing answer/content, it can be assessed as having a low(er)
quality of content/substance, and graded accordingly.
For this assignment only, because the sources were already provided to you and the questions
point to specific sections in one or more of the three documents, there is no need to provide intext citations and a list of references at the end.
