The source can be articles, interviews, or genAI. Acknowledging <\/em><\/strong>is about how you used the genAI as a tool to develop your written piece. Use can include brainstorming, organizing, revising, critiquing and style changes. Acknowledging is both a way to indicate that you are in control of the tool and a way to defend yourself if a genAI detector were to flag your work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Generative AI makes stuff up and lies. You are responsible for checking and doublechecking. Don’t ask genAI to police itself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The key to using genAI productively is to be very aware of whether you are learning and\/or able to take the results from genAI and use them when you need them in a new context. You should be able to explain your findings in a conversation or class discussion or in a bluebook exam. Being aware of what you know and how your understanding is developing has always been an important part of self-regulated learning called metacognition. You know you are learning if you are working hard and if you remember the content. Anything that feels easy and relaxed will probably not stick–unless you repeat it countless times.<\/p>\n\n\n\n You are using genAI productively if<\/p>\n\n\n\n Ways to use genAI productively depend on the context, but can include asking it<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n Student Guide to AI Literacy from MLA-CCCC<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n Clarkson Moodle Page<\/a> with interactive activities on using generative AI for writing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Resources on AI options and prompt engineering<\/a> by Jose Antonio Bowen<\/p>\n\n\n\n MLA-CCCC committee reporting<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n AACU Student Guide to Artificial Intelligence<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\nRemain in Control<\/h2>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n
