This is an individual assignment. Under no circumstances should you share your workings or any part of your assignment with other students - this constitutes academic misconduct and actions will be taken. All similarity reports on Turnitin will be thoroughly checked for matching with external sources and with other BFA728 assignments. You are asked not to discuss the assignment with other students on MyLO. You may ask general questions on MyLO if there is something you need clarified but you should not discuss any calculations or where you have found any relevant information with other students.
