Key Features of This Assignment
- Understanding Source Legitimacy
- This assignment teaches students how to verify the legitimacy of sources generated by AI. By cross-referencing AI-generated sources with actual sources, students develop essential research skills and learn to differentiate between credible and non-credible information, enhancing their ability to produce well-researched writing.
- Distinguishing Paraphrasing from Plagiarism
- Students practice paraphrasing and compare their work with AI-generated paraphrases. This exercise helps them understand the fine line between proper paraphrasing and plagiarism, improving their ability to rewrite information in their own words while maintaining academic integrity in their writing.
- Evaluating AI Feedback
- Students input their old essays into AI tools to receive feedback and learn to discern between good and bad advice. This process enhances their critical thinking skills and helps them become better editors of their own work by recognizing constructive criticism and dismissing unhelpful suggestions.
