Description

Since the release of ChatGPT in late 2022, maintaining academic integrity has been a prominent concern. To minimize the temptation of students using AI chatbots to write essays, some have suggested incorporating individualized reflections or connections to personal experiences into prompts. But how do instructors handle traditional research papers that feature academic writing and do not encourage personal reflection? This session will showcase a research project from an advanced music history course that uses scaffolding, prioritizes high-quality sources and in-text citations, and strategically employs plagiarism software. This effective approach has minimized attempts to use ChatGPT for term paper composition.
