Using AI Tools for Outlining

Please refer to your course syllabus, assignment instructions, or professor to verify whether AI use is considered acceptable for your assignment.
For ethical use, also consider whether:
- AI is supporting your work or replacing it
- a friend or tutor could provide a similar service

AI tools may be helpful when developing an outline, especially in the brainstorming and research steps.
