The recent launch of ChatGPT has rocked academia to its foundations. The most recent chatbot from Elon Musk's OpenAI company can help students with their homework and research projects. But users, including academics and those in the tech industry, were astounded by the introduction of this tool. What percentage of the work is original, and what did the student contribute? We will talk about the use of these AI-assisted tools in the classroom as it is an open topic. Without entirely dispensing with future tools like ChatGPT, we will continue to talk about and be present when it comes to the topic of using ChatGPT in class. In the era of AI, open dialogue and transparency are the only viable options.

Academic dishonesty is an assault upon the basic integrity and meaning of a University. Cheating, plagiarism, and collusion in dishonest activities are serious acts which erode the University’s educational and research roles and cheapen the learning experience as well as the value of one’s degree. All code from other sources should be properly credited. When using other people’s code: include the source, author, and which functions from that code are you using or your own code builds upon. Some assignments prohibit the use of external code, some others will allow it moderately, this will be communicated when assigning coding exercises. When in doubt, ask.
