You are expected to use your own words for the entirety of the paper.  A few brief quotes are acceptable with proper quotation marks and citations for them.  Otherwise, you should originate all content without plagiarizing sources or using Artificial Intelligence tools.  Your papers will be screened by Turnitin for both plagiarism and AI-generated text.  Evidence of either could result in penalties at the instructor’s discretion.
