About this Event
1700 University Blvd, Birmingham, AL 35233
Presented in the UAB Center for Teaching and Learning for UAB Faculty by Melissa Hawkins, Ph.D.
Notions of textual borrowing and sharing intellectual ideas are different across cultures. In addition, paraphrasing, and knowing what must be paraphrased versus what does not, is a rather complicated skill to master for any novice writer. With all of the difficulties intrinsic in accurately using sources and in writing with an authoritative voice, employing AI-generated text in composition may appear inviting. Explore practical ways to help all of your students navigate academic honesty in the American academic environment.
Registration is requested for CTL events.
Please note: The UAB Center for Teaching and Learning (CTL) presents workshops on teaching practice for UAB faculty (including adjunct instructors), pre-approved graduate students who are currently under contract to teach academic courses at UAB, and teaching staff.
