Your teachers will tell you if you’re allowed to use AI tools when doing your coursework – the rules will depend on your qualification. Even if you’re allowed to use AI tools, you can’t get marks for content just produced by AI – your marks come from showing your own understanding and producing your own work. Reference reference reference - If you’re allowed to use AI tools, you must reference them clearly. Name the AI tool you used; Add the date you generated the content; Explain how you used it. Save a screenshot of the questions you asked and the answers you got. Declare it’s all your own work When you hand in your assessment, you must sign a declaration. Anything without a reference must be all your own work. If you’ve used an AI tool, don’t sign the declaration until you’re sure you’ve added all the references. What happens if I misuse AI?
