All course assignments must be your own writing and must not be assignments that you have submitted in previous assignments in other courses (i.e., do not self-plagiarize). Using someone else’s words or ideas without giving credit is plagiarism. Any student suspected of cheating or plagiarizing on a quiz, exam, or assignment will be reported to the Office of Student Integrity, who will investigate the incident and identify the appropriate penalty for violations. See http://www.catalog.gatech.edu/policies/honor-code/ or http://www.catalog.gatech.edu/rules/18/ for information on Georgia Tech’s Academic Honor Code and Code of Conduct. 

TURN IT IN REPORTS: All assignments will be submitted to Turnitin via Canvas and the Turnitin Similarity Reports and AI Writing Detection Reports will be reviewed. 

• Regarding Similarity Reports: All assignments in this course will be compared against each other, previous submissions (your OWN previous submissions as well), and the internet for plagiarism or self-plagiarism. All course assignments must be your own writing and must not be assignments that you have submitted in previous assignments in other courses (i.e., do not self-plagiarize). Using someone else’s words or ideas without giving credit is plagiarism.
• Regarding AI Writing Detection Reports: All assignments must be in your own writing (i.e., not AI generated writing, AI summarizations or paraphrasing of your own writing or of others’ writing, or be written with assistance from writing platforms). This means that the use of AI platforms or writing platforms (e.g., Chat GPT and others) for our course assignments is notpermitted. The use of these tools for writing assignments in this course is not permitted.
