Ethical Use of Generative AI (GenAI)
You are permitted to use GenAI to support your submission for this assessment. You may use it for the following activities:
• Researching and refining your ideas
• Information retrieval or background research
• Drafting an outline to organise or summarise your thoughts
• Refining research questions
• Checking spelling and grammar
Applying GenAI tools should be done with human oversight and control. You should carefully review and use the results carefully as AI can generate authoritative-sounding output that can be incorrect, incomplete, uncritical, or biased.
You may not submit any work generated by an AI tool as your own. Where you include any material generated by an AI tool, it should be properly declared just like any other reference material. Alongside your assignment you should also provide a commentary in the Cover Sheet detailing how GenAI has been used to develop your final submission. If you have not used GenAI tools, you should clearly state so.
Plagiarism, including that which results from using GenAI, is a form. of academic misconduct that will be dealt with under the University’s Code of Practice on Academic Integrity.
