Below are sample questions representative of the exercises included on this worksheet and related 9.47 Academic Discussion and Presentation Skills skill assessments:

Problem 1Difficulty: Mastery

Jun Parker plans to cite a dataset about road diets (lane reductions) and crash rates in Brookstone that was shared in a public folder. The dataset includes survey responses from 430 people and a note that "terms of use apply." No citation information is attached to the file itself.

What is the most academically responsible step before using the dataset in the presentation?

ARename the dataset file so it looks like you created it for road diets (lane reductions) and crash rates in Brookstone.

BLocate the dataset’s original host or documentation to confirm authorship, collection method, and terms of use, then cite it properly and ensure the use complies with privacy and licensing requirements.

CUse the dataset immediately because public folders mean there are no restrictions for Brookstone.

DQuote the 430 number but avoid citing anything so no one can question you in Brookstone.

Solution & Explanation:Academic integrity includes verifying provenance and permissions for data and providing accurate citations. You must also consider privacy and licensing before sharing or using survey data.

Problem 2Difficulty: Mastery

In a panel discussion on vaccination reminders and clinic attendance in Brookstone, Theo Campbell is challenged by a skeptical audience member: "Your conclusion seems cherry-picked. You highlighted the 78% increase, but what about months when the trend reversed?" Theo Campbell has the full time series, including two months with a 23% decrease.

Which response best demonstrates evidence-based reasoning and transparency?

AI left out the 23% decreases because they weaken my argument about vaccination reminders and clinic attendance in Brookstone, and that’s normal in presentations.

BYou’re right to ask for the full pattern. The series includes a 78% increase overall, but it also includes two months with a 23% decrease; my conclusion should describe the variability and discuss possible reasons rather than only the peak months.

CThe 23% decreases are irrelevant because any decrease must be a data mistake in Brookstone.

DI don’t have to show the time series; you should trust me since I’m presenting on vaccination reminders and clinic attendance.

Solution & Explanation:Good academic practice is to represent the full evidence, including exceptions, and revise claims to match the complete pattern rather than selecting only supportive data.

Problem 3Difficulty: Mastery

Nadia Phillips used an AI tool to brainstorm slide wording for a presentation about free community college pilots and completion rates in Brookstone. They also copied one AI-generated paragraph into their speaker notes without checking it against sources. The class policy requires transparency and evidence-based claims.

Which action best aligns with academic integrity before presenting?

AKeep the AI paragraph as-is because it sounds academic, and audiences won’t notice errors about Brookstone.

BUse the AI paragraph as your only source and cite the AI tool as if it were a research study about Brookstone.

CRemove the unverified AI paragraph, rebuild the notes from reliable sources you can cite, and disclose the limited use of AI for brainstorming if required by the class policy.

DHide any mention of AI use and cite no sources so your presentation on free community college pilots and completion rates feels original.

Solution & Explanation:Academic integrity requires that claims be supported by verifiable sources. AI text must be checked, properly disclosed when required, and never substituted for evidence.
