Please feel free to use maps, graphs, tables and figures to illustrate your paper, but these should not substitute for clear explanation in your text. In other words, you need to explain the significance of the visual aids that you use. If you know that your writing skills are weak, you are strongly advised to seek a tutor or to have someone review your paper for grammatical correctness before you turn it in. You should also consult a good guide to writing, such as A Writer's Reference 3rd. All assignments are expected to be turned in on time .
Plagiarism is a form of academic dishonesty.
It includes passing off someone else's works or ideas as your own, or paraphrasing material from a source text without providing proper documentation. It is never acceptable to copy directly from a source text unless you use quotation marks and supply proper documentation, but you are advised to use direct quotations sparingly. To avoid the possibility of plagiarism, do not copy chunks of material from your sources. You are expected to read the material and then express the ideas in your own words, while giving credit to the source of the material. If in doubt, cite the source.
