however, I may not get to your email immediately. Please be patient, and I will

accepted, and will only be considered for extreme documented circumstances.
Academic Dishonesty:
No plagiarism or other
academic dishonesty will be tolerated.
Plagiarism consists of copying text from a website, book, fellow

for the assignment.

together or from any other video/film you have seen on your own outside of
