• 2.Watch the video below to hear how the short reports work : https://youtu.be/oavRq-1RdR0
• Ignore the specifics of the assignment details in the video – that’s an old doc I used for reference.

`

• 3.A key component of this task is the mandatory use of AI tools to enhance research, data analysis, and synthesis of findings.

`

• 4.Use at least two AI tools.

`

• 5.This report consists of two parts:

1)Report on chosen topic.(about 1500 words)

2)Reflection on use of AI to create report.(about 300 words)

`

• 6. Part 1:Report

Choose ONE (1) of the following to write the report:

• option 1) You are to answer the question: What evidence is there for climate change, and what can be done about it?

option 1 must:

a. Describe evidence for climate change, with specific reference to solar

variability and the impact (if any) that solar variability has on climate.

b. Explain one or more possible scientific and/or engineering solutions to

climate change.

c. Include at least one properly referenced recent relevant

fact/publication/result dating from January 2022.

d. Use appropriate referencing in Harvard style.

e. Not include plagiarised content (see below).

• option 2) You are expected to choose a new telescope or mission that began collecting data in the last 5 years (that means that the mission/telescope could have launched more than 5 years ago but started collecting data in the last 5 years).

option 2 must:

a. Describe the background scientific information and explain the scientific

aims of the mission/telescope, and how they will be answered (this is

related to the first point; the mission/telescope may not completely fill the

gap in current knowledge!)

b. Summarise the data that will be gathered by mission/telescope, or the

data that has already been collected.

c. Include at least one properly referenced recent relevant

fact/publication/result dating from January 2022.

d. Use appropriate referencing in Harvard style.

e. Not include plagiarised content.

• 7.Part 2: Reflection on use of AI
• Illustrate the process of evaluating the information provided by at least two generative AI systems.
• Detail the depth of analysis undertaken to ensure the accuracy, validity, and consistency of the AI-generated information. This should include the necessary steps and measures taken.
• Support your evaluation with secondary sources such as scientific journals, articles, or other search engines.
• Explain how these secondary sources assisted in enhancing clarity and refining the quality of your report.
• Demonstrate how you critically reviewed and expanded upon the AI-generated content using your own insights.
• Include how the AI tools assisted you in performing the task and highlight the benefits derived from using AI.
• Highlight the challenges and limitations encountered while using AI.
• Include future improvements for using Generative AI for writing assessments of a similar nature.
