When I ask my students to use the library database to find scholarly peer-reviewed journal articles, some students stick with the search methods they’re already familiar with, and they submit works cited lists that include articles written by undergraduate interns, or articles from low-value pay-to-publish ecosystems like “Frontiers.” While I don’t read every article students…

Two years after the release of ChatGPT, it may not be surprising that creative work is used without permission to power AI products.

My older siblings say they remember our mother sitting them down to watch a new TV show called Sesame Street.

I first started teaching with this handout in 1999 and posted it on my blog in 2000.
