Name: Unit 6 - Exam - ResearchDISCLAIMER: If you’re going to copy and paste my work, I suggest you get a
paraphrasing tool to re-word so that you don’t get caught with plagiarism
and also shift the paragraph so it doesn’t look identical to mine and also do
not share this specific work with another classmate. Since this one is an
exam, I suggest you do the exam the night before the actual exam, what I
mean is do it at home and save it to a USB drive and then bring the USB drive
to the exam the next day, just don’t get caught by the examiner. Good luck
