Special Notes:

Exemplars: You have previously examined your framework and philosophy.

Self-plagiarism: Students may reference a previous paper with appropriate citation, building and expanding thought. However, Self-Plagiarism is not permitted in in this course, and could result in a score of zero.

According to the International Committee of Medical Journal Editors (ICMJE), self-plagiarism is a publication of material that is redundant or duplicate, or a paper that overlaps substantially with one already published in print or electronic media. UTA Office of Regulatory Services . http://www.uta.edu/research/administration/departments/rs/conduct-of-research/authorship.php (Links to an external site.)
