This is a summary of the major decision points and paths within the Generative AI Syllabus Statement Tool.

Introduction:

Defines the types of AI tools covered by the policy.

Initial Decision Point:

Select the desired level of AI integration in your syllabus:

  • No AI Use: Prohibits use of AI tools.
  • Limited AI Use: Allows use of AI tools with specific limitations.
  • AI Use is OK: Permits use of AI tools freely.
  • AI Use is Required: Mandates use of AI tools.

No AI Use

The use of any AI tools is prohibited in the course. It is the most restrictive option, mandating that all work submitted by students is entirely free of AI assistance.

  1. Initial Suggestion: Prohibit AI tools.
  2. Limitations and Risks: Inform students about AI tool limitations and risks.
  3. Academic Integrity: Emphasize that unauthorized AI use is an academic integrity violation.
  4. Final Statement: Customize the final draft statement.

Limited AI Use

The use of AI tools is permitted but with specific limitations. These limitations can be defined by the type of AI tools allowed, the context in which they can be used, or the extent to which they can contribute to student work.

  1. Initial Suggestion: Allow AI tools with limitations.
  2. Common Limitations: Choose general limitations or specify assignments.
  3. Student Documentation: Decide if students must document their AI use.
  4. Description of AI Use: Decide if students must explain their AI use.
  5. Limitations and Risks: Include cautionary language about AI tools.
  6. Academic Integrity: Inform students about academic integrity regarding AI use.
  7. Final Statement: Customize the final draft statement.

AI Use is OK

AI tools can be freely used by students. This approach offers flexibility in how AI is incorporated into coursework, without specific restrictions on the type or extent of AI usage.

  1. Initial Suggestion: Allow free use of AI tools.
  2. Documentation Requirement: Decide if students must document their AI use
  3. Description of AI Use: Decide if students must explain their AI use.
  4. Limitations and Risks: Include cautionary language about AI tools.
  5. Final Statement: Customize the final draft statement.

AI Use is Required

The use of AI tools in the course is mandatory. It could be integrated into the curriculum, where assignments and projects require the use of specific AI tools.

  1. Initial Suggestion: Require AI tools for some assignments.
  2. Student Documentation: Decide if students must document their AI use.
  3. Description of AI Use: Decide if students must explain their AI use.
  4. Limitations and Risks: Include cautionary language about AI tools.
  5. Academic Integrity: Inform students about academic integrity regarding AI use.
  6. Final Statement: Customize the final draft statement.
