Overview
All written work submitted in this course must be your own. Contributions from anyone or anything else- including AI sources, must be properly quoted and cited every time they are used. How to cite AI WritingLinks to an external site..Links to an external site. Failure to do so constitutes an academic integrity violation, and I will follow the institution’s policy to the letter in those instances. An assignment that is found to have been plagiarized or to have used unauthorized tools and has an excessive AI score will automatically receive a zero and you will not be given an opportunity to repeat the assignment for a passing grade. Depending on the severity of the case, academic misconduct may result in a failing grade in the course. ALL PLAGIARISM AND AI-BASED WRITING WILL BE REPORTED TO THE OFFICE OF STUDENT CONDUCT AND ACADEMIC INTEGRITY. Students are always able to resubmit written assignments up until the due date/time. If you are concerned that you have accidentally plagiarized or that there is AI in your paper, you can submit early and discuss your paper with me. This can help you to avoid having to go through the full academic integrity process accidentally.

In other words, what factors, both external and internal, caused the need for the development of the new form of Neopaganism or Witchcraft, and what is distinct about their teachings.
