Notes:

(1) Plagiarism will be severely dealt; so, please don’t copy extensively from other sources.
Use your own language. You may use a few quotations here and there but be very selective
about it – don’t use them extensively. And whenever you use quotations, keep them within
quotation marks and provide full citation – either in a footnote or in the reference list.

(2) Don’t give a bibliography, give a reference list – i.e. provide references only to those
materials which you have actually cited in the text. And any material you cite in the text must
be include in the reference list.

(3) Follow any standard style of citation and references, but do not mix-up styles or invent
one of yours.
