Academic honesty/integrity statement:
  • Academic Conduct: Students are expected to adhere to the Georgia Tech Honor Code. Violations of the Honor Code will be addressed appropriately and may result in an “F” on the assignment or in the course. If you require special accommodation due to a disability, please inform me as soon as possible. You should also contact the Office of Disability Services.
  • Use of Generative Artificial Intelligence (AI) Tools: You may use generative AI programs, e.g. ChatGPT, to help generate ideas and brainstorm. You should be aware that the material generated by these programs may be inaccurate, incomplete, biased or otherwise problematic. Also, use of these tools may stifle your own independent thinking and creativity. Per GaTech's Honor Code, you may not submit any work generated by an AI program as your own. If you include material generated by an AI program, it should be cited like any other reference material (with due consideration for the quality of the reference, which may be poor). When/if you use AI platforms in your assignments, please write a note to clarify where in your process you used AI, include the prompt used to generate the material, and which platform(s) you used. See this article for how to cite AI properly: How to cite ChatGPT: https://apastyle.apa.org/blog/how-to-cite-chatgpt. That said, using any AI tools during a proctored exam or quiz is never permitted.
  • Class Conduct: Please avoid disrupting the class by arriving late or leaving early unless you have a valid reason. Ensure that your phone is turned off, and refrain from packing up before the class has ended. You are expected to think critically during class, and everyone’s ideas should be welcomed and respected. Respectful behavior is essential to maintaining a safe and open environment for class discussions. Any behavior that creates a hostile, offensive, or intimidating atmosphere for any reason, including but not limited to gender, race, ethnicity, religion, age, disability, marital status, or sexual orientation, will not be tolerated. Hate speech will not be permitted.

Multidisciplinary course supporting faculty research. Students can participate multiple semesters. Graduate students will pursue needed knowledge/skills; make meaningful contributions; provide leadership in technical areas/team management.
Academic honesty/integrity statement:

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.
