Task Description
Task Description:
This assessment is in two parts (PART A and PART B). The assessment is not considered submitted until both parts are received following the instructions below.
——————————-
PART A: Drawing on the knowledge you have gained from the WRIT1001 course content, you are to produce an argumentative essay, as taught in the course. You are not to write your own essay on your own topic—you must improve the provided essay produced by generative AI (e.g. ChatGPT).
The essay produced by a generative AI will be provided to you on the Monday of Week 13 at 12pm (in the assessment folder). Part A of this task asks you to improve upon the AI-generated model essay, bringing its quality up to university standard with the skills you have learned on this course, including critical argumentation, logical structure, detailed research skills, appropriate and valid referencing of sources, etc.
As the AI essay is short, you will also need to increase it to the required word count of approximately 1200 words. A reference list in APA7 will be required (this is NOT part of the word count).
This part of the task is worth 28 marks (out of 35).
———————-
PART B:
Submit a video reflection explaining in detail how you drew upon the knowledge gained from the WRIT1001 course content to improve upon the Generative AI-produced essay, and how you will transfer and apply this knowledge to your writing in the future. This should be no more than 5 minutes long. The video can be presented in any way you wish (i.e. your face talking to a screen, a recorded powerpoint with voiceover, etc).
Note: You MUST be able to explain how you revised the generative AI essay step by step in the video, AND explain how you used the WRIT course materials to help you do this.
This part of the task is worth 7 marks (out of 35). However, students who fail to submit the video as per the instructions below will receive a mark of 0/35 on this assessment.
——————————–
Both PART A and PART B of this assessment must be submitted following these instructions in order to be considered “submitted” for marking.
If one part is not submitted, the assessment will accrue a penalty of 10% per day up to 7 days, when it will receive a mark of 0/35.

DETAILED UPLOAD INSTRUCTIONS:
1. Submit Word or PDF file of argumentative essay to Turnitin link on Blackboard.
2. Upload video reflection following these steps:
i) Click on the Flip link in the folder “Improving on Generative AI essay and video reflection” (Assessment folder in Blackboard).
ii) Sign in using Microsoft and UQ credentials ONLY. Videos uploaded without UQ credentials will NOT be accepted.
iii) Record video and upload to FLIP, or record directly into FLIP. Note that the upload limit is 5 minutes maximum. If your video is longer than 5 minutes, it may cut off.
iv) At the START of the video, you must talk to the camera (ie NOT a photograph) and introduce yourself clearly showing your UQ ID card on FULL SCREEN. If you do not have a UQ ID card, please use a passport or valid Australian driver’s license with your name in English. If the marker cannot see your ID clearly, your video will be considered not submitted.
v) Change your username on your video from “Flip E” (the default) to your first and family name as recorded in sinet. If the marker cannot easily find your video, your video will be considered not submitted.
vi) ALWAYS check your UQ email before and after submission of assessments, as this is the only way we have to contact you if there is a problem.
———————————-
Your written assessment must be new work that you have written this semester. Do not submit previously completed work.
Use of ghostwriting companies is subject to SEVERE penalty–we are able to know if you produced your own work or not, and have the tools to prove it.
IMPORTANT: Students taking this course in China may be strongly impacted by technical issues due to firewalls. Use of the UQ-VPN is a requirement for such students.
If sick/absent, apply for an extension through My.UQ (https://my.uq.edu.au/node/218/2)
This task has been designed to be challenging, authentic and complex. Whilst students may use Al technologies, successful completion of assessment in this course will require students to critically engage in specific contexts and tasks for which artificial intelligence will provide only limited support and guidance. A failure to reference Al use may constitute student misconduct under the Student Code of Conduct. To pass this assessment, students will be required to demonstrate detailed comprehension of their written submission independent of Al tools.
You need to carefully read the requirements for essay 1 and essay 2, as well as the feedback given by the professor. Avoid the same penalty points situation.
