Note: All gen AI tools are subject to "hallucination" and bias. When using an AI-powered tool, be aware it may misrepresent otherwise credible sources. Make sure to read all sources before using them for your assignments. Failure to do so will classify as Fabrication and Academic Misconduct.
Gen AI tools can be helpful in suggesting structure for your assignments and your time management, because structure and scheduling plans are repeatable patterns with consistent terminology.

Once you have performed your own brainstorming and initial scoping search on ECU Library Search, you will have a few topics, ask:
PROMPT: "You are a time-strapped 3rd year university student studying Criminology, how could you plan a study schedule to compile a 2000 word essay? What steps would you take?"
