Academic Dishonesty and A.I.

Academic dishonesty refers to any form of cheating, including, but not limited to:

• Plagiarism (including copying and pasting answers from Google and AI searches)

• Copying another student's work

• Allowing someone to copy your work

• Improper use of Artificial Intelligence (taking the output and passing it off as your own, using it to write responses/essays for you, etc.)

Per board of education policy and the CRHS Code of Conduct, if a student is found to be guilty of cheating, teachers are to notify the student of the situation orally or in writing, give the student a zero on the assignment, and issue an Academic Dishonesty referral. These referrals are for documentation purposes only. Then, teachers are to notify the parent/guardian. 

Artifical Intelligence

Artificial Intelligence is part of our world and here to stay. There are ways to use it ethically and we will work on those skills from time to time. AI can not replace human thinking. If you can't explain what you turn in, you did not create it and that will violate CRHS's Academic Integrity policy, resulting in a zero that may not be able to be reattempted.

If your documents have the following, that is grounds to assume students did not create their own submissions unless the student can prove otherwise:

1. Significant copying/pasting

2. Works written in much less time than it would take the average student to create on their own. (Example: an essay written in 6 minutes).

3. Wording that does not demonstrate the student's own writing style and which the student can not explain in their own words.
