Academic Dishonesty Procedure/Unit 5 AI Syllabus Statement:
Artificial Intelligence (AI) means technology that can do things that usually requires human thinking. It can answer questions, write text, solve problems, or even create pictures, videos, and music. AI can be a powerful tool when used ethically. However, any use of AI on your assignments or assessments will follow the rules in the handbook.
Here’s what you need to know:
🔴RED: Not Allowed: (Refer to 7.50 of the Student Handbook)
AI is not a replacement for your own work.
You cannot use AI to write your essays, complete assignments, take tests, create projects, or complete schoolwork unless you have permission from your teacher.
Claiming AI-generated work as your own is academic dishonesty or plagiarism.
Using AI tools to create fake images, videos, or voices, is considered gross misconduct.
🟡 YELLOW – AI Might Be Allowed
AI can sometimes help you learn or study, but you must get permission from your teacher FIRST.
🟢 GREEN – AI Is Permitted
AI is allowed in an ethical manner. Always talk with your teacher first.
Your work WILL be checked using AI detection tools
or plagiarism checkers to check for originality.
Academic Dishonesty Procedure
At Unit 5 academic dishonesty can include, but is not limited to: copying from online resources (including utilizing AI), submitting another student’s work as your own, sharing your work or copies of your work with another student and/or failing to cite a source.
In instances of academic dishonesty, the following will occur:
First instance: Discussion with the student, possible opportunity to redo the assignment for credit (up to teacher discretion), an email will be sent to the student, guardians, school counselor, and assistant principal. This will be documented in Infinite Campus by the teacher.
Second instance: Discussion with the student, no chance for resubmission for credit, referral, and an email will be sent to the student, guardians, school counselor, and assistant principal. This will be documented in Infinite Campus by the teacher.
*Given the skills assessed in this course, any use of AI (including, but not limited to, using AI to generate an outline which students then edit or using AI to reformat/revise student writing) is considered academic dishonesty. Students are only permitted to use AI if directly instructed to do so.
*All drafting must occur within the assigned documents on Google Classroom. Students may not receive credit for content that is pasted in. Essays that cannot be checked with AI-detecting software will receive zeros until the situation is rectified.
