❌ How AI CANNOT Be Used:
AI must not be used to generate written analysis, evaluations, or reflections.
AI must not be used to create final portfolio pieces.
AI must not replace your independent research, creativity, or critical thinking.
✅ How AI CAN Be Used:

🔎 Transparency & Acknowledgement:
If you use AI in your portfolio, you must:
Acknowledge its use in your written reflection.
Explain how AI contributed to your process.
Include screenshots of any AI interactions in an appendix.
🔎 Consequences of Misuse:
If AI is used in ways not permitted, it will be treated as plagiarism. This may result in:
A score deduction, non-submission, or a required redo of the task.
A Sentral record of AI misuse, which applies across all of your class subjects.
A meeting with executive staff if AI misuse occurs in multiple tasks, potentially affecting your course completion (e.g. V grade).
