Relevance:
Mohamad Bsat's narrative about self-care and finding pleasure in difficult times is relevant to today's society.

His focus on finding pleasure outside of work connects with many people in demanding jobs or experiencing social injustices, making his narrative relevant.

Unit 7
Academic integrity 1.
Discuss two problems resulting from using ChatGPT and other AI tools to write your research essay for COMM 171. (100 words)
Possibility of plagiarism: ChatGPT and other AI technologies learn from enormous text and code datasets. They may accidentally duplicate phrases or words from sources they were given instructions on. Even without knowing the AI tool's origins, this might cause unintended plagiarism in the article.
Lack of critical thinking: Research essays need critical analysis, interpretation, and argumentation from the data. AI technologies were not developed to replace critical thinking. Their research essays may be factually correct but lacking in depth, insight, and distinctive viewpoint.
2.
How can students use AI tools such as ChatGPT in a positive way to learn- in a manner that does not breach the academic integrity policies at the college? (100words) Brainstorming: Generate research ideas and views using AI. Instead of copying, utilize these concepts to encourage individual thought and analysis.
Information Gathering: Ask topic-specific open-ended questions using AI tools to aid in beginning research. This helps find keywords, viewpoints, and sources. Scholarly publications, books, and trusted websites should be used to verify information.
Write down a list of the keywords you used for your topic.

Annotated Bibliography Unit 8
Write the annotated bibliography for three of your best research sources. One of the sources must be peer-reviewed. Each annotation can be 2-5 sentences. The first few sentences can summarize the article, and the last few sentences should illustrate how you will use your source
to evaluate your source. IE) What part of the response section will the research go in? What framework will it support? Source 1
APA entry:
Chappell, B. (2022, October 6). Just like life, riding my bike does not always make sense.
However, that is why I love it. NPR

chappell-cycling

The NPR newspaper article by Bill Chappell combines personal experiences with
observations on cycling's calming and therapeutic benefits.
Chappell discusses themes including
resilience, risk-taking, and the pleasure of cycling.
Chappell effectively evokes emotion and
explains cycling's cultural relevance by comparing his experiences to scientific bicycle
understandings and reflecting on personal milestones.
This article will be used in the accuracy
framework to assess how well the author's cycling description matches actual reality and
probable consequences.
Source 2
APA entry:
TEDx Talks (Director). (2014, January 7). The joy of two wheels: Elysa Walk at TEDxVailWomen
. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GK_rmt-OEdY

Walkabout her difficult cycling journey in Taiwan and how overcoming challenges can lead to self-discovery.

APA entry: Souza, A., Sanches, S., & Ferreira, M. (2014). Influence of Attitudes with Respect to Cycling on the Perception of Existing Barriers to Using this Mode of Transport for Commuting.
Procedia - Social and Behavioral Sciences
, 162
, 111–120. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.sbspro.2014.12.191
Annotation: Souza et al. (2014) use the Theory of Planned Behavior to examine how attitudes
toward cycling and perceptions of challenges to riding for commuting correlate.
Positive
attitudes toward cycling, especially environmental and health advantages, are linked to a
decreased impression of cycling challenges, the authors find. Safety, hills, and inadequate
bicycle infrastructure are the biggest deterrents to riding.
This study helps explain the
complicated relationship between cycling attitudes, perceived challenges and behavioural
intentions. In the relevance framework, it will be assessed for its impact on transportation
policies and plans to promote cycling and reduce vehicle reliance, especially in metropolitan
areas.
