Academic Integrity and Artificial Intelligence

Academic integrity is a fundamental principle of this course. Students are expected to produce their own work in all academic activities (exams, assignments, projects, etc.). Plagiarism, cheating, unauthorized collaboration, and misrepresentation are considered violations of academic ethics and are subject to disciplinary procedures.The use of artificial intelligence tools is permitted only when explicitly authorized by the instructor and within specified limits. Students must clearly disclose the purpose and extent of any AI use in their work. Using AI as a substitute for one’s own work constitutes a violation of academic integrity.
