Generative Artificial Intelligence is an emerging technology that is revolutionizing the world around us. When used ethically and responsibly, generative AI can be a very useful tool to enhance the educational experience. If used improperly, these programs can significantly harm the learning process. Therefore, there are certain safeguards that must be put into place in order to ensure a positive outcome.
The teacher will be using a Google Chrome Extension called Revision History. This extension allows the teacher to see a visual revision history, counts the number of pastes, keeps track of how long and when edits take place. As such, all students will be expected to turn in the Google Doc that contained their writing process. Students should not write in another program and paste their work in to the submitted Google Doc.
Any and all use of Artificial Intelligence programs for class must receive prior approval from the teacher. Before using any AI tool, please confer with your teacher.
All work must be properly attributed. If AI-generation was approved by the teacher in advance, students are still expected to properly attribute that content.
The content generated by AI can often use copyrighted material. Plagiarism is not acceptable, even if provided by an AI program. Students must be sure to take extra care to ensure that any AI material used, even with prior approval, does not violate Academic Dishonesty policies already in place.
Artificial Intelligence programs are a tool for assistance with basic understanding and creativity. The programs are not to be used to replace critical thinking or academic writing skills.
Any and all submitted assignments can be subject to a verbal review with the teacher without notice. Be prepared to discuss and explain your work, the content, and your workflow process. If you are unable to do so, Academic Dishonesty of some sort has occurred.
The consequences will be subject to the teacher's discretion. Those can include, in a non-linear list, required resubmission, no credit on the assignment, referral to the office, and other reasonable consequences.
