- Learning tool, not shortcut: AI assistants may be used only to brainstorm ideas or improve clarity—not to generate full assignment answers.
- No auto generated quizzes: Submitting AI generated responses for graded activities is considered cheating.
- Disclosure: If you use AI to draft part of a reflection, add a note: “Assisted by AI for wording.”
Repeated misuse triggers the same penalties as plagiarism.
