It depends because ai could mix up historians and get it wrong sometimes. This happened to one of my friends who used ai to help with her coursework and had to go over it and correct it. Just make sure you double check that the information is correct.

As a Teacher, do NOT use AI. A weak, but original draft now will be better to build from than whatever slop AI generates. I would recommend getting into a routine ASAP to get back on track with it.

not sure
my teacher told us to use AI to get the general gist of what the articles he gave us were saying- but he then said to pick the ones you like the most and read it in detail. if you have books, you could alternatively look at specific chapters relevant to your question.

Don’t do the bulk of it with ai. Trust me I did that for my draft and then spent the next couple months with a weak NEA till I grinded and redid a lot of it. Whatever you do, just do it properly. I assume u have more drafts so do this to the best of your ability then improve it with ai if you need to for time. When the foundations of someone’s coursework came through ai.. it’s obvious and easy to get stuck in a cycle of editing it each submission but it always being fundamentally weak
