37 Unit 4: Think About It
Answer the following questions and reflect on your understanding about Research:
- Have you ever worried about the need to be “original” in your writing? Explain?
- How significant are the problems of disinformation and misinformation? How do you combat those problems in your everyday research?
- Think about your major. What kind of research will be done in your field? Don’t just think about academic research or experiments, but perhaps you are a business major, what kind of research will you have to do in your careers?
- Where is the ethical line between using a generative AI tool (like ChatGPT or Gemini) as a helpful assistant for brainstorming and summarizing, and using it in a way that constitutes academic dishonesty? How can you leverage these powerful tools to enhance your research process without sacrificing your own critical thinking and original voice?
