Academic Integrity and Artificial Intelligence
Academic Integrity Policy on AI and Plagiarism: The use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) tools in writing assignments must be limited and responsible. Excessive reliance on AI-generated content (over 30%) and/or a similarity index above 30% in Turnitin will be considered violations of academic integrity. Consequences may include, but are not limited to: (1) Reduction in grade (2) Non-evaluation of the homework/assignment (3) Referral for disciplinary action in accordance with university policies. Students are encouraged to use AI tools only as supportive resources (e.g., brainstorming, grammar checks) while ensuring that submitted work reflects their own original thinking and effort.
