Understanding how and when you can use Generative Artificial Intelligence (GenAI) 

Starting to work on your assignments and considering using Generative AI (GenAI)?

Don’t forget:

✳️ You should only use GenAI tools to support you in the preparation of work for assessment where your tutors have indicated that its use might be helpful or where it’s part of the assessment brief.

✳️ If you do use a GenAI tool, you must clearly show which parts of your work have been created by using it and you must describe how you have used the tool.

✳️ If you misuse a GenAI tool or fail to declare the use of artificial intelligence in your work and you are later found to have breached the Academic Conduct Policy because of this, the penalties can be serious.

Our Generative Artificial (GenAI) Intelligence Literacies module on Moodle is a great starting point for all students.

This module has been designed to improve your understanding of these tools and provides guidance to help you make decisions about responsible use of the tools (if your assessment brief indicates that you are permitted to use them).

If you’re unsure about whether you use can use GenAI in your assignment, please speak to your module tutor.
