LIBERAL USE OF A.I. ALLOWED:

Students are welcome to use generative AI to assist with assignments for this course. Generative AI has been incorporated into a variety of tools that can make everyday tasks easier, provide creative inspiration, or work to help you personalize your learning and study strategies. In this sense, generative AI can be a positive learning partner for students. However, as is the case with most human partnerships, students using generative AI in class are required to acknowledge when and where they have used it.

SOME USE OF A.I. ALLOWED:

When allowed*, you may use generative AI to complete assignments under the following conditions:

1. You must clearly identify the use of AI-based tools in your work. Any work that utilizes AI-based tools must be clearly marked as such, including the specific tool(s) used. For example, if you use ChatGPT-3, you must cite "ChatGPT-3. (YYYY, Month DD of query). "Text of your query." Generated using OpenAI.https://chat.openai.com/"
2. You must be transparent in how you used the AI-based tool, including what work is your original contribution. An AI detector such as GPTZero (https://gptzero.me/)) may be used to detect AI-driven work.
3. You must ensure your use of AI-based tools does not violate any copyright or intellectual property laws.
4. You must not use AI-based tools to plagiarize - you may not submit AI-generated work as your own.
5. Total AI content must not make up more than ____% of the assignment. [Instructor puts percentage here, typically between 25-50%]]

* examples: Brainstorming and refining your ideas; fine-tuning research questions; drafting an outline to organize your thoughts; checking grammar and style; [insert your own]

NO USE OF A.I. ALLOWED:

In alignment with our Institutional Learning Outcomes, one of the main goals of coming to college is to develop your critical reading, writing, and thinking skills. That means that the student is the one who must do the reading, writing, and thinking in order to benefit from the effort. The use of generative AI, even in the idea creation stage, can result in students skipping important steps in the thinking and creating process, thus undermining their own learning. You are expected to complete each assignment without substantive assistance from others, including artificial intelligence (AI) tools such as ChatGPT, Dall-E, MidJourney, etc. Any work written, developed, created, or inspired by AI will not be given credit.
