According to the Georgia Tech Academic Honor Code, academic misconduct is any act that does or could improperly distort student grades or other student academic records. Such acts include:
- Possessing, using or exchanging improperly acquired written or verbal information in the preparation of any essay, laboratory report, examination, or other assignment included in an academic course;
- Substitution for, or unauthorized collaboration with, a student in the commission of academic requirements;
- Submission of material that is wholly or substantially identical to that created or published by another person or persons, without adequate credit notations indicating authorship (plagiarism).
AI use
As one of the learning outcomes of this course is to acquire the ability to think critically about and analyze contemporary global challenges, the use of generative AI software such as ChatGPT, DALL-E 2, and other AI agents is PROHIBITED in this course. I will be using Georgia Tech’s software (Turnitin) to check for AI use. To allow for false positives, Turnitin-detected AI content up to 20% will be accepted. Work above that threshold will be considered to be potentially plagiarized and will be reported to the Office of Student Integrity.
