ESOL 115 - Speaking, Listening and Academic Culture

Introduction

On May 17, 2023, Oberlin changed the school’s Honor Code Charter to include the use of artificial intelligence as a punishable offense under the cheating section of the Code. The Honor Code Charter is reviewed by the Honor Committee every three years.

The amended Charter prohibits using “artificial intelligence software or other related programs to create or assist with assignments on the behalf of a student unless otherwise specified by the faculty member and/or the Office of Disability & Access.”

Some faculty members have begun creatively adding ChatGPT to their curriculums to allow students to understand its capabilities and limitations. 

For this assignment, using ChatGPT you will:

  1. Generate a concert program note on the identified musical work. Include biographical information about the composer, the work itself, the characteristic or compositional style of the work, the date of composition, when and where it was premiered, and the audience's general response. Include also information about a recording of a major or the first performance of this work. Limit the program note to 300 words. Provide a bibliography of all sources used in Chicago citation style.
  2. You will then fact-check the AI-generated content and its sources using the fact-checking tools provided in this guide. Provide appropriate in-text citations for each fact checked. 
  3. You will cite the AI-generated content and each source used for fact-checking in your bibliography using Chicago style.
