Questions
Support
You may use any AI tool of your choosing, such as ChatGPT, Microsoft Copilot, or Google Gemini. The worksheet asks you to name the tool you used, so keep that in mind as you work. The focus is on how you use AI responsibly, not which specific tool you choose.
This assignment is specifically designed for responsible AI use — you are expected to use an AI tool and reflect on it. Your submission should represent your own thinking and reflection. Using AI to write your entire reflection without engaging with it yourself is not acceptable. When in doubt, ask your instructor before submitting.
Try a different browser (Chrome or Firefox recommended) or use the Print to PDF option in your browser's print dialog. If you continue to have trouble, contact UMA's technical support before the deadline so you do not miss the submission window.
