THIS ASSIGNMENT MUST BE UPLOADED TO TURNITIN (REPEAT ESSAY 2025) FOR AI AND SIMILARITY SCANNING. DO NOT PLAGIARIZE.

AI use: AI must only be used as an assistant. This means you may use AI to explore ideas and structures, but you must not have AI in your final document. AI is best used when considered as an assistant who can rewrite drafts and help organise your material. The weakness in AI is that #1. AI will never refuse a job! It can be wholly inaccurate #2. It doesn’t handle in-text referencing or bibliographies properly #3. It can’t be considered your work if the machine has done it, you haven’t learned anything if an app has written your essay, and consequently, you can’t get marks for the AI’s work.

To succeed:

• Pay attention to your in-text and bibliography referencing
• Upload your essay to the repeat Turnitin assignment on BlackBoard by the deadline
• Structuring your essay in terms of a proper introduction and conclusion will help your mark
• Please confine yourself to one idea per paragraph
• Do not use an AI to write your final document. Dig deep and write your final submission.

Useful Resources:

• You will find articles on this topic in the LEARNING RESOURCES space on BlackBoard. You may use some of these and find more of your own.
