Scenario: You are on the Student Affairs Committee at Calhoun Community College and you receive the following excerpts of text. The text on the left is from Student A. The text on the right is from Student B. Answer this question: did student B plagiarize work from student A? Explain your reasoning as this student could face significant consequences based on the outcome of this process. By the way, we do have students that sit on this committee and work through this kind of issue. Use evidence from the example to support your argument. I have included the Calhoun academic honesty policy for reference.  

I chose a piece of writing for us to consider this week based on some larger questions many students are grappling with right now: is AI sentient, or real, or ethically bound to the same rules as people?  In this practice exercise, I want you to construct an argument and use this source as evidence. Your argument should make a case for whether you feel AI is entitled to ethical treatment or not. Please do your best to cite the information correctly using the author last names.  Machine_Consciousness.pdf

Read this example argument. Note whether you agree or disagree or disagree with the argument along with an explanation as to why you feel this way.   Example 1: College Causes Anxiety Rather Than Exacerbates It  Claim: College itself is a primary cause of anxiety, not just a factor that worsens pre-existing conditions.  Elaboration: The structure of higher education places immense pressure on students through academic expectations and financial burdens.  Evidence: According to sociologist Julie A. Phillips, anxiety levels spike significantly when students enter college, even among those with no prior history of anxiety. Phillips found that financial insecurity, academic stress, and social instability create a unique environment that fosters anxiety (Phillips 112).  Warrant: Because anxiety often emerges in students without prior mental health struggles, it is clear that college itself is a contributing factor. The high cost of tuition, the uncertainty of post-graduate job prospects, and the constant need to perform at a high academic level combine to create an unhealthy environment.  Conclusion: Instead of merely offering mental health counseling to address symptoms, universities should focus on structural reforms to prevent anxiety from developing in the first place.
