For example, in a PPT, students must cite sources in the slides and in References (last slide).

This is a “pop-up” quiz: The quiz will be administered during a lecture or a seminar sometime in the middle of the module, but the exact date will not be announced, so students should be diligent in completing homework, readings, and other assignments. To take the exam, students must show their student ID/password. During the exam, students must keep brightness of the phone/computer screen at 100%. During the quiz, students are not allowed to (1) use any sources other than those permitted by the instructors, including any other programs on the cell phone/computer, (2) leave the classroom and come back, (3) share questions and answers with others.
