The use of AI for generating content in Trident classrooms is not permitted unless it is specifically required by assignments in classes. Certain classes may allow AI to be used for brainstorming or to kickstart research. Turnitin detects AI-generated content.

• Double-space your reference list.

• For each author, list the last name first followed by the initials for their first and middle names.

• Arrange your reference list alphabetically by the last name of the author.
