The number of students using generative AI tools to compose posts and replies is escalating at an alarming rate. Just so you know, I can sort of tell when AI has been used and whether its usage is a sign of misuse or misconduct. I have NO problem if you are using AI intelligently and responsibly. BUT, if you do use AI you also need to:
cite the tool used, and
cite the text used in your prompt
Please make sure you have read the University Guidelines & Resources: AI in the Classroom
1) How did early civilizations use their geographical location and the climate of the areas they settled in to shape their political, religious, and social systems? What does this tell us about these societies?
2) Compare the two great empires - Assyrian and Persian - that emerged after the 13th century B.C.E. How were they created? How were they ruled? How do historians explain the differences and similarities between them?
3) As we know, civilizations do not develop in a vacuum. In what ways did Indian civilization interact with those outside India? What impact did contact with other civilizations have on the development of Indian civilization?
4) In China, as in the rest of the ancient world, geography played a crucial role in the development of civilization. Describe this role. How was China different from the ancient civilizations of West Asia, India and North Africa?
