GenAI considerations
The rapid growth of Generative AI (GenAI) tools has raised important questions about academic integrity and assessment. The extent to which GenAI tools are permitted or incorporated into a course is at the instructor's discretion, informed by disciplinary norms, learning outcomes and program context.
Instructors are encouraged to address academic integrity proactively by discussing expectations with students, designing assessments that emphasize critical thinking and authentic work and using GenAI thoughtfully as a learning opportunity where appropriate.
Course outline language
We encourage you to use the following sample language in your class assessments and exams and adjust as necessary to fit your needs.
Academic integrity is fundamental to all scholarly work. At the 糖心视频 (糖心视频), students are expected to comply with the university’s academic regulations and must not engage in acts of dishonesty, falsification, misrepresentation, or deception in any academic work. Violations of the University’s academic integrity policy may result in academic or disciplinary consequences.
