Academic Integrity: Plagiarism and AI Usage
Students are expected to:
Produce Original Work
Submit assignments that are the result of their own efforts, unless collaboration is explicitly permitted by the instructor.
Properly Cite Sources
Acknowledge all sources of information, ideas, and quotations, adhering to appropriate citation standards.
Avoid Plagiarism
Do not present another's work, ideas, or expressions as their own. This includes copying from peers, published materials, or online sources without proper attribution.
Maintain Honesty in Assessments
Refrain from cheating, unauthorized collaboration, or using prohibited materials during examinations or assignments.
Use AI Responsibly
Employ generative AI tools (e.g., ChatGPT) only when authorized by the instructor, and always disclose their use appropriately.
- Always inform your instructor when you've used AI tools.
- Specify which parts of your work were assisted by AI and how.
- Use AI as a support tool, not as a replacement for your own work.
- Do not copy AI-generated content directly into your assignments.
- Include details about which AI tools you used and their specific contributions to your work.
- Avoid entering confidential or sensitive information into AI tools.
- Adhere to any additional rules or restrictions your instructor sets regarding AI use in their course.
- Use AI to enhance your understanding, not to do the work for you.
Seek Clarification
Consult instructors when uncertain about academic integrity expectations or permissible resources.
