Academic Integrity and Artificial Intelligence

Students are required to comply with the principles of academic integrity in all course activities. All assignments, projects, and examinations must be completed in accordance with ethical academic standards. Plagiarism, using another person’s work without proper citation, or any form of academic misconduct is strictly prohibited. Artificial intelligence tools may only be used for supportive purposes when permitted by the instructor. Any content generated with the assistance of artificial intelligence must be clearly acknowledged and should not replace the student’s own critical thinking, analysis, and academic work.
