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.

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.
• If you are unsure if a particular situation involves plagiarism or other fraud, please contact Dr. Babcock.

Any student suspected of cheating or plagiarizing on an oral exercise, presentation, or writing assignment will be reported to the Office of Student Integrity, who will investigate the incident and identify the appropriate penalty for violations. This class prohibits use of AI except for specific in-class exercises under the guidance of the instructor; if Artificial Intelligence is used outside of that to perform the homework or assigned homework, this will be considered cheating and/or plagiarism.

Academic Honesty and Integrity

Academic Honesty

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.

For “Writing with Humor”: This course is all about teaching you about the ethics of quotation, citation, and the generous use of other people’s words and ideas. We’ll talk about what makes work “original,” best practices for writing with sources and colleagues, and how to do citation. When in doubt, let me know and we’ll work it out together! 

I am most interested in your ideas, your way of writing, and your words. In college, we value your unique contribution and quality critical thinking over some nonexistent “right answer” or perfect grammar. Accordingly, please pay attention to the below policy on generative AI. We’ll discuss this policy and make adjustments as they come up. The most important thing is for you not to sabotage your (expensive) education by letting AI do tasks that are meant to make you learn and grow. 

Academic Honesty and Generative AI

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 “ENGL 1101: Writing with Humor,” using software and AI tools for things like spell-checking is always okay. However, using the generative or conversational functions of gen AI is allowed only when specified by the instructor—we’ll have a clear policy for each assignment or type of work. When AI use is permitted, I’ll ask you to acknowledge how you used the AI in a transparency statement. We’ll talk about how to engage with gen AI ethically and in a way that supports your learning, and I’ll walk you through expectations for transparency and documentation.

As with any technology, generative AI tools need to be used critically and according to academic and professional expectations. Thus, in instances in which your instructor allows 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 your instructor allows 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). This also means 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 as indicated by the instructor. This work includes not only when you use content directly produced by a generative AI tool 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.

“I commit to uphold the ideals of honor and integrity by refusing to betray the trust bestowed upon me as a member of the Georgia Tech community.” 

Georgia Tech aims to cultivate a community based on trust, academic integrity, and honor. Students are expected to act according to the highest ethical standards. For information on Georgia Tech's Academic Honor Code, please visit http://www.catalog.gatech.edu/policies/honor-code/ or http://www.catalog.gatech.edu/rules/18/. Academic integrity is extremely important to me. 

Any student suspected of cheating or plagiarizing on an exam or assignment will be reported to the Office of Student Integrity, who will investigate the incident and identify the appropriate penalty for violations.

During anytime throughout the semester you have question involving the Academic Honor Code, please contact your instructor or a first-year program faculty member.

Collaboration & Group Work

You are encouraged to work with classmates on in-class problem solving and to study with others outside of class. Collaboration on homework assignments is acceptable, and you should keep in mind that the effort you put into these assignments will be reflected in what you gain from them.  Discussion of the material in laboratory assignments is appropriate; however, all work submitted in reports must be prepared independently.

STUDENT-FACULTY EXPECTATIONS AGREEMENT

At Georgia Tech we believe that it is important to strive for an atmosphere of mutual respect, acknowledgement, and responsibility between faculty members and the student body. See http://www.catalog.gatech.edu/rules/22/ for an articulation of some basic expectation that you can have of me and that I have of you. In the end, simple respect for knowledge, hard work, and cordial interactions will help build the environment we seek. Therefore, we encourage you to remain committed to the ideals of Georgia Tech while in this class.

We expect students to arrive prepared for class, to participate in class activities and discussions, and to utilize office hours for additional help when needed.

In return, students should expect instructors to arrive prepared for class, to engage them in activities and discussions that further their understanding of course material, and to be available during office hours.

Students should expect to spend 6-9 hours per week outside of the classroom and laboratory to excel in this course. This includes time spent reading the textbook, watching videos as assigned, working problems, and writing laboratory reports. Students are encouraged to develop a pattern of preparing for class, attending class, and then reviewing after each class period.
