Remember, while grading for correctness, consider the limitations of ChatGPT as an AI model. Focus on evaluating the factual accuracy and logical coherence of the generated content, rather than penalizing for the model’s limitations.

Ensure that your grading is fair, objective, and consistent. 

Note: It is possible that ChatGPT may produce an essay that contains no factual errors. If that’s the case, just show how you applied the rubric and list the citation which supports what ChatGPT has asserted (and be sure to include that in the citation list).  

How to assess the value of a cited source: AKA, the CRAP method

• Currency: Is the resource from an appropriate time?
• Reliability: Can you depend on the information and trust it to be accurate?
• Authority: Can you trust the source the information comes from?
• Purpose: The reason the information exists

List of prompts (choose one):

• Using between 500 and 800 words, describe whether the current trend in globalization is advancing, stalling, or retreating, and quote specific examples which both support and refute your argument.
• Using between 500 and 800 words, explain why you agree or disagree with the proposition that the global economy would be better off returning to the global currency policy of a gold standard and fixed exchange rates as they existed under the Bretton Woods agreement.
• Using between 500 and 800 words, explain what the impact to the global economy would be if the United States and the People’s Republic of China were to actually decouple their economies. Cite supporting evidence and explain any contradictory evidence.
• Using between 500 and 800 words, explain whether globalization benefits or hurts developing economies. Cite supporting evidence and explain any contradictory evidence.
• Using between 500 and 800 words, support or refute the “Dell Computer Supply Chain Theory of World Peace” proposed by the author Thomas Friedman. Provide examples supporting your conclusion and address any contradictory evidence.

Your submission should be no longer than three pages (exclusive of citations), must be original work (excluding the portion generated by ChatGPT), and should include both the essay that ChatGPT generated as well as your assessment of the generated essay (and the alphabetized list of citations at the end, which does not count towards your page count). 

Reference List

For your assessment, you will need a list of references which support your assessments.  You will need at least 10 references.  The list should be in APA format (APA CITATION GUIDELinks to an external site.).  The easiest way to do this is by using CITATION MACHINELinks to an external site.

Citation Machine can usually produce adequate citations, though be careful!  Sometimes it doesn’t know how to handle what you give it, and you have to give it some help.  Things to look for to see if a citation needs editing:

• Does the title match?
• Does the date list n.d. (no date)?  If so, is that really the case?
• Was Citation Machine unable to find the author?  Or is the author listed as something bizarre?  
• Is your list of citations alphabetized? 
• If a link is included (usually it should be), does the link actually go to the cited material?

Citation Machine can help you a lot, but it’s not a miracle.  You still need to go back and check to make sure it’s producing accurate stuff. If it’s not, you will lose points.
