A Portsmouth High School’s student learning expectation (civic and social) presupposes students will demonstrate a personal sense of ethics that will include honesty, integrity and self-control in school and at all school sponsored activities.
Therefore, students are responsible for earning grades honestly and honorably, to include homework. Failure to meet this responsibility will result in disciplinary action.
Cheating is defined as using someone else's work or labor with or without their knowledge, and representing it as your own. This includes (but is not limited to) giving or receiving answers or work on a task, test or quiz, removing tests or answers from the testing room, plagiarism, any use of a cell phone or other communication or recording device during the task/test. It is also knowingly giving your work or labor to another, for representation their own produced work.
If a student assists someone in misrepresentation of their work in any way, it is considered cheating, regardless of whether or not that student receives a direct benefit from their action. See the PHS “Code of Behavior” for further information regarding Academic Integrity and consequences if an infraction occurs.
Academic Integrity & Artificial Intelligence (AI)
Academic Integrity & Artificial Intelligence (AI)
In some subject areas and/or class sessions, PHS students may be asked by their teacher(s) to leverage generative AI tools for the following purposes:
Support classroom learning
Provide students with an opportunity to explore how these tools can be used, and/or
Better understand the benefits and limitations of AI in our society
PHS acknowledges that learning how to use AI is an emerging skill, and as a school community, we will work through the implications of these evolving systems together, during class sessions only. PHS faculty will always indicate when and where use of AI tools during class sessions is appropriate (and not). Examples of use during ungraded classroom exercises might include:
Brainstorming new ideas
Developing example outlines or approaches to work, and/or
Generating different ways to talk about a problem.
In contrast, students may not use AI tools to generate work for an assignment to be submitted for a grade, as this cannot be considered a substitute for developing the fundamental skills and expertise represented by learning course objectives.
Students are ultimately responsible for the content of the information you submit and may not attempt to pass off any work generated by an AI program as their own.
