Warning
This is not a collaborative activity. Though several students may choose to review the same profile, they should refrain from working together on their written reviews. SafeAssign will notify the professor of any papers that are the same as or similar to one another. It will also notify the professor of papers that are the same as or similar to those submitted by students from past semester and students currently assigned to other course sections.
In cases where SafeAssign indicates that two students have turned in the same summary or summaries that have a high degree of similarity as to indicate collaboration, said students will be subject to sanctions. To avoid this, simply do your own work in your own words.
If you quote or paraphrase from your chosen article, make sure to indicate the appropriate parenthetical page reference.
