Editing Instructions for Handwritten Drafts
Initial Draft Requirement
You must first type your handwritten draft word for word. During this initial typing phase, you can only fix basic writing errors: spelling, punctuation, and subject-verb agreement (e.g., correcting he say to he says). You do not need to insert comments to identify these minor corrections.
Editing Process
After completing the initial draft requirement, you may edit your text further, with or without AI assistance, under the following conditions:
- When using AI tools, you must only use teacher-approved AI prompts on Moodle.
- For each modification made (whether AI-assisted or not), you must insert a comment describing briefly the change that was implemented. If AI was involved, specify which permitted prompt was used.
Specific Limitations
- You may not modify, replace or add more than four words in any single sentence.
- You are allowed to edit only one sentence per paragraph beyond the four-word limit mentioned above.
- You are permitted to delete or remove any words or sentences without needing to insert comments.
Maintaining Authentic Voice
It is crucial that all work submitted genuinely reflects your own ideas and writing style. Therefore:
- You must not use AI-suggested words that you:
- Cannot pronounce correctly.
- Cannot define without looking them up in a dictionary.
- Would not typically use in your own writing or speaking.
- You must read all AI-assisted passages aloud to ensure they sound natural and truly reflect your authentic voice.
