Things to Keep in Mind:
1. You are discouraged from using AI tools unless you are under the professor's direct instruction. Please get in touch with your professor if you are unsure or have questions before using AI for any assignment.
2. If AI is permitted to be used, you must indicate what part of the assignment was crafted by AI and what your work was. If you have received permission, no more than 25% of a project should be created with AI.
3. You may not submit any work generated by an AI program as your own. Suppose you include material generated by an AI program. In that case, it should be cited like any other reference material (with due consideration for the quality of the reference, which may be poor).
4. Since writing, analytical, and critical thinking skills are part of the learning outcomes of this course, all writing assignments should be prepared by the student. Developing strong competencies in this area will prepare you for a competitive workplace. Therefore, AI-generated submissions are not permitted and will be treated as plagiarism. The Code of Ethics is important, and plagiarism is a severe offense at MCCC.
5. Some student work may be randomly submitted to AI or plagiarism detection tools to ensure it is human-created. Submitting AI-generated answers constitutes plagiarism and violates the MCCC Student Code of Ethics. Using these tools without permission puts your academic integrity at risk.
