Students are expected to maintain the highest standards of academic integrity. All work submitted must be original and properly cited. Plagiarism, cheating, or any form of academic dishonesty will result in immediate consequences as outlined in the university's academic integrity policy.

AI Policy:

This course is about growing in your ability to write, communicate, and think critically. Generative AI agents such as ChatGPT, DALL-E 2, and others present great opportunities for learning and for communicating. However, AI cannot learn or communicate for you, and so cannot meet the course requirements for you. 

In this course, using generative AI tools in the work of the course (including assignments, discussions, ungraded work, etc.) is allowed only in instances specified by your instructor. 

In this course, you are allowed to use generative AI tools to:

• Create audio summaries of course documents and other written texts to use as a review tool, NOT as a substitute for fully completing assigned readings.
• Generate citations for Works Cited entries. But be sure to check/correct those citations using a current style guide, like ones shared via the Purdue Online Writing Lab.
• Check your writing for spelling and grammar errors. But you may NOT allow the AI tools to edit or rewrite sentences for you.

You are not allowed to use generative AI tools to:

• Generate or edit content (your writing, presentation slides, or multimodal elements) for any of your course assignments. That includes reading notes, outlines, feedback for your peers, first drafts, or final drafts of projects.
• Write or rewrite your sentences or phrases. I want to hear YOUR voice, not a robot’s.

Please also do not upload or copy any course materials (assignments, syllabi, your peers’ work) into any GenAI app or site without express permission.

As with any technology, generative AI tools need to be used critically and according to academic and professional expectations. Thus, in instances in which you are allowed generative AI tool use, you are expected to adhere to these principles:

• Responsibility: You are responsible for the work you submit. In instances in which you are allowed generative AI tool use, this means that any work you submit should be your own, with any AI assistance appropriately disclosed (see “Transparency” below)  and any AI-generated content appropriately cited (see “Documentation” below). While not relevant to this class, it is important to note that in any other instance where you use generative AI, you must ensure that any factual statements produced by a generative AI tool are true and that any references or citations produced by the AI tool are correct. 
• Transparency: Any generative AI tools you use in the work of the course should be clearly acknowledged. This work includes not only when you use content directly produced by a generative AI tool (although you shouldn’t be doing that for this class anyway) but also when you use a generative AI tool in the process of composition (for example, for brainstorming, outlining, or translation purposes).
• Documentation: You should cite any content generated by an AI tool as you would when quoting, paraphrasing, or summarizing ideas, text, images, or other content made by other people.

Using generative AI tools at times not allowed by the instructor will be considered an infraction of the Georgia Tech Honor Code subject to investigation by the Office of Student Integrity. Likewise, using generative AI tools in the course without adhering to these principles will be considered an infraction of the Georgia Tech Honor Code subject to investigation by the Office of Student Integrity.
