Academic Honesty Exercise
Due: Tuesday, October 2
A recurring theme in our class discussion has been The Symbol System
Hypothesis, as described in Section 4.6 of our textbook on artificial
intelligence by Jack Copeland. This exercise asks you to demonstrate your
understanding of elements of citation, quotation, and paraphrasing by using
Copeland's Section 4.6 as your source to answer the following questions.
All citations should follow the style given in The College Writer's
Reference, Third Edition by Toby Fulwiler and Alan R. Hayakawa,
Prentice Hall, 2002.
-
Write a paragraph that states the Symbol System Hypothesis, paraphrasing
Copeland's description without quoting directly or using his words, sentence
structure, or paragraph structure. Include an appropriate citation.
-
Write a paragraph that quotes snippets from the passage. Include an
appropriate citation.
-
Construct a paragraph in which you use a long quotation from Copeland's
section. Include an appropriate citation.
-
Constuct a paragraph that makes a point quite different from Copeland's,
but one inspired generally by this section. Give proper credit.
-
Write an entry for your list of works cited that refers to Copeland's book,
again using the style given in Fulwiler and Hayakawa's The College
Writer's Reference, Third Edition.
You must use word processing software to prepare your assignment, and you
must run a spelling checker on your work. (The exercise will not be
accepted if it contains obvious spelling errors which would be caught by a
spelling checker.) You must turn in 3 copies of your exercise, as printed
by the word processing software on a laser-quality printer.
