Welcome to the bilingual guide Disobedience in Contemporary Spanish Culture. This guide will help you prepare for presentations and written assignments, such as short essays and research papers, so you can find resources, cite them correctly, and develop your research skills.
Your professor will establish the rules of using AI in your work. A guideline you can follow is to always disclose when you have used AI and how you utilized it, following your Professor's stipulation.
AI models, such as a ChtGPT, Google Gemini, and Cluade, are generative AI models that can generate new content using human-like language that is not present in the original data. These models use a large amount of text, images, audio, and video materials that are taken from the Internet. Predictive AI, on the other hand, uses past data to predict something, like Netflix, which uses AI models to learn your content selection pattern so it can recommend additional content.
It is essential to remember that generative AI models generate text, and although they appear to "understand" what you are asking and "respond" accordingly, they do not comprehend meaning like humans do. AI models have been trained to imitate human-like communication, but they cannot reason.

Writing Methods
There are three main effective ways to use the work of others in your writing:
Brief presentation, in your own words, of another author's main points as related to your writing.
Useful practice when:
You need only short passages or sentences to convey the meaning
You wish to draw your readers’ attention to particular points, conclusions or observations
Your interpretation of another author's words or ideas, usually shorter passages or paragraphs.
Useful practice when:
Meaning is more important than exact phrasing
Ideas or resources are more important than exact wording
Simplifying concepts will help your reader
Images & sounds
Your use of an author's exact words, terms, or phrases in direct quotes.
Useful practice when:
Author’s words are very effective or significant
Author is a recognized authority
Exactness, accuracy, or conciseness matter
You are pointing to or analyzing the original text
Tip: Summarizing is also a good note taking strategy and allows you to test your understanding. The more deeply you understand a topic, the better you will be at paraphrasing and quoting.
Read actively! Take notes and make annotations. Learn more about when to paraphrase and when to quote.
