QUESTION 1:
MINUTES OF A MEETING BACKGROUND
The performance of students at the University of the South, an open distance
and e-learning institution, is on the decline because students submit
assignments which are not original; they simply copy and paste answers
generated by Chatbots, using artificial intelligence. A Teaching and Learning
Ad hoc Committee in which academics, administrators and students are
represented, has been constituted. The committee held a meeting to deliberate
on the dynamics of relying on chatbots when writing assignments by the
students. ENN1504 MAY/JUN 2024 Page 4 of 10 INSTRUCTIONS Below is a

gentlemen, now that we are done with the issue of supplementary
examinations, let us now turn our attention to the declining students’
performance caused by academic dishonesty. There is a growing concern from
academics who are forced to fail assignments which lack originality.
Therefore, the purpose of this meeting is to share with student representatives
what their peers are doing while preparing their assignments, and how their
practices result in poor academic performance. Let me give this opportunity
to Dr Sibeko who will address you on behalf of lecturers; she has been
collating information about assignment contents from her peers and analysing
trends that are emerging. Dr Sibeko: Thank you very much, Chair, and
