Academic Integrity:

ÃÛÌÒÊÓÆµ places high value upon educating students about academic integrity. At the same time, the University will not tolerate dishonesty, and it will not offer the privileges of the community to the repeat offender. The academic community assumes that work of any kind--whether a research paper, a critical essay, a homework assignment, a test or quiz, a computer program, or a creative assignment in any medium--is done, entirely and without unauthorized assistance, by the individual(s) whose name(s) it bears. Students bear the ultimate responsibility for implementing the principles of academic integrity. For more information, please visit Faculty Policy Series #11.

Use of AI tools only with permission and acknowledgement. You may use AI or ML tools, such as ChatGPT or Dall-E, or other similar tools on assignments, discussions, exams, and presentations in this course if instructor permission is obtained in advance. The use must be properly documented and cited. 

  • With the exception of specific assignments and AI/ML methods identified by the instructor, you are expected to complete each assignment, exam, or presentation, without assistance from others, including automated tools.
  • Any assignment that was completed with AI/ML tools must contain an appropriate citation. See below for resources on citing AI/ML:
