AI Toolkit: ±¬ÁÏÉçÇø and Beyond

Warning

Always check your instructor’s polcies regarding AI before using it for any part of an assignment.

Policies vary by course. What is allowed in one class may be considered academic dishonesty in another. Even if it is just for brainstorming, using AI without permission could result in a violation of ±¬ÁÏÉçÇø’s Academic Honesty Policy.

Check the syllabus, and when in doubt, ask your instructor.
