A.I. Statement
The purpose of assignments in this course is for you to demonstrate your writing and critical thinking skills while providing you with opportunities to grow as a communicator, thinker, and scholar. Writing skills, along with the course concepts you learn while writing, will help you develop as a person and valued employee who will succeed in your future career(s). So, I ask you to embrace the challenges of learning, scholarship, and personal growth and write without using A.I.
If you use generative A.I., you are required to attach an Artificial Intelligence Statement to your assignment explaining how you used A.I., what A.I. application you used, and what prompts you used. Using A.I. without an Artificial Intelligence Statement attached to your assignment will be treated the same way as other incidents of plagiarism.
