material. Avoid generalites, try to include specific
details and examples from the reading section. The separate
sections or paragraphs of your paper should blend together into one
seamless coherent report. Your report should be
nearly free of misspelled words and grammatical errors.

You do not need to cite the
Wikipedia reference. Additional references aren't required, but
if you do consult something other than the Wikipedia article you should
