Week 5: Peer Reviewed Evaluation Exercise
Instructions
Assignment Two
In a 500–750-word essay, compare and contrast two articles: one is an actual peer-reviewed study and the other is AI-generated created by ChatGPT. Please choose articles that are most relevant to your major. For STEM, you should choose the articles about Antibiotic Resistant Bacteria and for Psychology, you should choose the articles about Pets on University Campuses.
The Psychological Impact of Having Pets on University Campuses AI Version.pdf
The Psychological Impact of Pets on University Campuses Peer Reviewed Version.pdf
Antibiotic Resistant Bacteria and Wastewater AI Version.pdf
Antibiotic Resistant Bacteria and Wastewater Peer Reviewed Version.pdf
In your essay, please include the following:
An Introduction: This will include a brief summary of each article.
A Thesis Statement: The thesis will be the last sentence of your introduction, and it should clearly explain how the two articles are different in a general way. You will be more specific about the differences in the rest of the paper. (Think of a thesis statement as a one-sentence explanation of the argument you will prove in the paper about the differences between the actual peer-reviewed article and the AI-generated one).
To prove your thesis, discuss some of the following in the body of your essay:
Are there differences between the two in terms of information, specificity, research, and content? Make sure you explain.
What, within the content of the peer-reviewed article, is missing from the AI version?
What is different in the AI-generated article from scientific articles in general?
Is the writing style different between the two?
Do they both contain rhetorical techniques (logos, pathos, ethos)?
Would you consider the ChatGPT article peer-reviewed?
Could the ChatGPT version be helpful for future research and writing?
Then, add your concluding thoughts in a conclusion.
You only need to use the peer-reviewed journal article and the AI generated one for this assignment; in other words, you do not need to find other outside sources for this assignment.
Please make sure to format your essay APA style. For guidance on APA formatting, you can go to the Purdue OWL.
