Review of expectations: No AI Presentations! Objective: Students will understand why AI-generated presentations are not allowed for their term project and why original work is essential. 1. What is AI-Generated Content?  AI tools like ChatGPT, Canva AI, and Google Slides AI can create presentations, essays, and summaries. While these tools are useful, they generate content automatically without deep understanding. 2. Why AI Presentations Are Not Allowed  A) Learning Requires Thinking Your project is about researching, analyzing, and explaining ideas in your own words. If AI does all the work, you are not learning the skills needed for critical thinking and research.

C) Original Work Matters Using AI to generate a project is not your work—it’s like copying from another stude...
