General Permission
Generative AI tools such as Gemini and ChatGPT are emerging tools for many fields, including education, providing tools and information. Because these tools will be used in professional and personal contexts, engaging critically with them and exploring their use, including [fill in assignment types] is valuable. You remain responsible for all content you submit for grading and evaluation.
You may use GenAI to help generate ideas and brainstorm, however, the work you submit for evaluation must be your own. If you include content (e.g. ideas, text, code, images) that was generated, in whole or in part, by Generative Artificial Intelligence tools in work submitted for evaluation in this course, you must document and credit your source. Failure to cite sources would be considered Academic Misconduct in violation of NMC’s Academic Code of Conduct.
