Academic integrity

This is an open-everything assignment. Feel free to use whatever resources you have at your disposal. Although you are allowed to work with others, I recommend you do your best to complete the assignment on your own. The Skill Check is constructed in a very similar format to the Homework assignments, except that you are not allowed to communicate with others. Hence, try your best to complete on your own, and if you run into problems, shoot me a question via Canvas message.
