Prohibition of AI Usage in Assessments

This is a reminder that the use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) tools and software in any form is strictly prohibited in all assessments, including exams, quizzes, courseworks and all other assessments.

Key Points:

1. No AI Tools: Do not use AI tools, including (but not limited to):  ChatGPT, Grammarly (any version), QuillBot or any other software that generates or enhances content.
2. Original Work: All work submitted must be your own original creation. Plagiarism or using external tools to complete your assessments is a violation of the Academic Integrity Policy.
3. Consequences: Any student found using AI tools in assessments will face a formal academic misconduct hearing, and subsequent consequences may include : failing the assessment, receiving a grade reduction, or further academic sanctions.  It may also be a professional body requirement that proven instances of academic misconduct are disclosed to them in order to ascertain your character and suitability to practice in the law or other fields of employment.
4. Exceptions: The only exception to this prohibition of AI is for those students who have a documented recommendation from Inclusive Support that specified AI tools can be used.

We encourage you to develop and demonstrate your own understanding and skills. If you have any questions or need further clarification, please contact your tutor, or course leader.
