• You must not use Grammarly, or any Generative AI software. You must not cut and paste from internet sources, including promotional material or reviews of the book.

• You may write first in another language, and then use translation software, but you must seek permission from your lecturer before doing this, and you must provide the original version in the original language in the drop box.

• You must use photographs of the book you have taken yourself, and show yourself in at least some of them.
