Plagiarism occurs when a writer duplicates another writer's language or ideas, and then calls the work his or her own. Simply put, plagiarism is theft. This includes the 'copy and paste' of work from textbooks, study guides, journal articles. The Plagiarism Declaration, included in this brief, must be signed, and attached to the front of your essay. Refer to the Plagiarism Information Sheet in your Course Outline for further information. 8. Academic sources: Not all sources can be classified as an academic source. To judge whether a source is an academic source, take the following criteria into account: The author should be identifiable. 4 HSYD202-1-Jul-Dec2024-SA2-TSS-V2-24062024  The source should be published by a credible publisher (In an Academic Textbook or Academic Journal) A list of references should be provided. Wikipedia is not a credible academic source. There is no one author identifiable, and editing an article on this site is very easy. Also, blog posts often provide valuable information, but this is not academically sound. 9. To obtain maximum results, please consult the rubric included in this brief to ensure that you adhere to and meet all the given criteria. 10. A Copyleaks Report will be issued via ColCampus once the assignment is submitted. Please ensure that you follow the correct steps when uploading your assignment, to ensure that the Copyleaks Report is correctly issued. If the incorrect document is uploaded, or if no Copyleaks Report is issued, or if the Copyleaks Report indicates that a 30% similarity/plagiarism score has been exceeded, a mark of zero (0) will be awarded. 5 HSYD202-1-Jul-Dec2024-SA2-TSS-V2-24062024 Question 1 (20 Marks) The rise of cloud computing has revolutionized data storage and accessibility.
