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: I think it is important, not only because of dishonesty and cheating. But because of the teacher wanting to know what I learned throughout the course of reading the book "Wild". If someone does not care about the cheating factor, then they should at least care about learning, so that they can move forward and not backwards. If everyone on earth was to just use AI and never learn anything, then humans would definitely start to loose brain power.

Summary: I enjoyed today's class, I though it was relaxing and not overwhelming.

Reflection: I am a little nervous to write an entire essay in one class, but I think I will be fine.
