Plagiarism & Cheating
• Please always cite the sources of your ideas. Only a maximum of 10% of your paper should be direct quotes from your sources. Artificial intelligence tools may be
used only to generate ideas but not to write the reports for you. If you consult AI to generate ideas, cite it just like any other sources of information and include it as a
source in the reference list, and refer to it in in-text citations. Also, append the generated AI report and explain 1) what AI tool you used; 2) why you used it and 3)
how you used AI in the paper.
• The American Psychological Association (APA) 7th edition referencing system will be used for this subject. Failure to document adequately and fully is to ignore
scholarly rules – and run the risk of plagiarism.
