The use of artificial intelligence aids will result in earning zeros on assignments and sometimes an “F” in a course. The Department of Social Work realizes that many of you may be returning to school after many years or do not consider yourselves wonderful writers. Liberty University has an Online Writing Center to help you grow in your writing competency. We encourage you to use this resource.

**Graduate Paragraph Template** and the principles from the
**_Best Practices in Graduate Writing_** Watch item
