We maintain a strict policy on Academic Integrity. Students will undertake their writing and analysis themselves, as we do not write the work/analysis for the students. We provide guidance and feedback only.
In addition, we do not help students answer their assignment questions on their behalf. We are happy to look over assignment plans. Still, we will not attempt to formulate answers to any coursework that is designed for individual assessment. This policy applies to any piece of work that will be graded.
