Artificial Intelligence (AI) tools may be used only as an editor in this course. This means you may use AI to help check grammar, polish language, or clarify your writing after you have completed your own original work.
AI should not be used to:
All ideas, content, and research must be your own. If it is determined that AI has been used to complete work on your behalf, you will receive a zero on the assignment.
The goal of this policy is to help you build your own critical thinking, research, and communication skills; which are abilities that AI cannot replace. Using AI responsibly as a tool for refinement, not substitution, will ensure you get the most out of this course.
