Academic Integrity and Artificial Intelligence

Within the scope of this course, students are expected to adhere to the principles of academic integrity. Originality is essential in all assignments, projects, and examinations. Plagiarism, fabrication of data, the use of others’ work without proper citation, and all forms of academic misconduct are strictly unacceptable.Artificial intelligence–supported tools (such as text generation, summarization, or translation tools) may be used only for supportive learning purposes and in a limited manner. When using such tools:The generated content must be critically evaluated,The final submission must reflect the student’s own academic work,The use of artificial intelligence should be properly acknowledged when necessary.The direct use of AI tools to complete assignments or projects is considered a violation of the student’s learning process.In this health-related course, ethical responsibility is regarded not only as an academic requirement but also as a professional obligation. Producing accurate, reliable, and evidence-based knowledge is adopted as a fundamental principle.
