ENG1503 MAY/JUNE EXAM PORTFOLIO 2025 – BOTH ESSAYS PROVIDED (DUE 10 – 12 JUNE 2025)

Description

This ENG1503 exam portfolio consists of two academically sound essays in response to the May/June 2025 examination prompts.

• Question 1 (Discursive Essay): The first essay discusses the rise of academic dishonesty in the context of artificial intelligence. It examines three major causes: misuse of AI tools, the decline in critical thinking, and the negative consequences for the future workforce. Supported by scholarly sources, the essay argues that while AI offers benefits, its irresponsible use can compromise academic integrity and professional preparedness. The essay is well-structured, persuasive, and demonstrates strong academic insight.

• Question 2 (Compare and Contrast Essay): The second essay compares two academic articles on the topic of AI and academic misconduct: one by Mohammadkarimi (2023), focusing on educators’ reflections, and the other by Sumardi et al. (2023), which explores institutional responses. While both texts highlight AI’s risks in promoting dishonesty, they differ in emphasis—ethics vs. policy—and in how they suggest AI should be integrated into educational practices.

Both essays follow the required structure with an introduction, body, conclusion, and Harvard-style referencing. They reflect an advanced understanding of academic writing, research integration, and ethical awareness, making them suitable for submission through Turnitin.
