Part of this course is to build independent learning skills. As such, a major portion of the course grade is dependent on an independent literature review assignment. There will be regular check-in points with the instructor throughout the course. However, it is expected that students spend some time outside of class each week working on their literature review. The check-in assignments are to ensure students are staying on track, but are not reflective of all work that goes towards a high-quality literature review. \\

Review the University's AI policy. While AI may be used for idea generation, it is expected that all assignments and final drafts be the student's own words and work. AI cannot be relied upon for accurate information, and particularly citations.}
\newcommand\AIPolicy{\textcolor{red}{
Since you opted for an AI Policy, you should edit this part, choosing one of the following statements, modifying as desired:\\
\\
The use of AI-generated content is not permitted in this course.
Its use will result in an academic integrity violation and a zero on the assignment.\\
\\
OR\\
\\
The use of AI-generated content is allowed in this course.\\

OR\\
\\
The use of AI-generated content is permitted as follows: (a) for generating a first draft or (b) for generating an outline or (c) for generating XXX.\\

AND, if AI is allowed:\\

Even if you have significantly edited AI-generated material, you must identify the AI tool used to assist in generating your work. You are required to provide the name of the tool, date used, and prompts used to generate the output.  As you may be required to submit the original AI output, you must keep a copy of the original output and provide it when requested.  If questions arise about the authorship of submitted work, you are responsible for authenticating your authorship.  You should save evidence of your authorial process, such as drafts, notes, version histories, and complete transcripts of AI assistance.

Students should make arrangements prior to class for missing quizzes. All other missed quizzes will be evaluated on a case-by-case basis.}

Your policy should address your general stance on recording of class sessions and the circumstances under which recording will be allowed or prohibited. If you generally prohibit recording, yet allow recording of certain classes for some reason, then you should notify all students that those classes will be recorded. If recording is permitted as an ADA accommodation for a student, you obviously should not identify that student(s).}}
