Today we discussed why academic writing must reflect your own thinking and understanding rather than relying on artificial intelligence to generate your ideas. After learning about the expectations for authentic writing, reflect on why it is important for students to write essays in their own words.

Prompt Response: It is important to write in your own words because it fosters creativity. It also helps create a good work ethic in students. Otherwise, no one would be able to be individual and we would lose what makes us human.

Summary: We learned about AI usage in schools.

Reflection: I learned that there are professors that encourage AI use. I will use this to consider which colleges I should pick for higher education.
