CCCU and GBS have provided guidance on how students can use Generative AI to support their knowledge and education. Please see the link below that provides further guidance on the topic and also includes some case studies that students should familiarise themselves with.
Welcome to your generative AI guidance – Canterbury Christ Church University
GenAI has a broad range of uses and a student may use GenAI tools for:
· Time management
· Planning an assignment
· Generating ideas for a topic
· Learning new concepts (check key facts with reputable sources)
· Developing critical writing skills such as editing and proofreading
· Self-directed study assistance
· Creating revision materials.
Students may NOT use GenAI applications as indicated below
The use of an artificial intelligence tool/source/programme/platform, such as ChatGPT or any other GenAI software, to generate material which is submitted as if it is the student’s own work without clear referencing is not permitted.
Generative AI should not be used to produce the original text required in summative assessments. This includes:
· The summary and analysis of peer reviewed literature.
· The summary and analysis of original data.
· The synthesis of ideas, discussion or conclusions.
· The generation of new findings or creation of graphs, charts or images.
English Proficiency and the use of GenAI.
Students can make use of a spelling and grammar checker to correct misspelled words and to correct grammatical errors. However, if the GenAI offers to rewrite sentences or create sentences this may be seen as an unacceptable use of GenAI.
Students must understand the sentences created including the overall meaning as well as the meaning of specific words
Student Integrity and Academic Misconduct
The values of student integrity expected by GBS and CCCU are:
Peer-support:
Students might choose to get support from their peers when preparing assessments, such as discussing the subject of the assessment, exchanging ideas, and receiving suggestions for improving the work. This is peer-support, and the GBS accepts this as a reasonable expectation when completing assessments. However, peers must not make any changes to anyone’s assessments as such actions could lead to allegations of academic misconduct.
Use of English as the medium of assessment:
Students cannot write an assessment in another language and subsequently translate their work into English or have it translated by any form of third-party. Use of translation software or third-party translators is a form of academic misconduct.
Proofreading:
Students can make use of Microsoft Word’s grammar and spell-checking functions but the use of Grammarly is not allowed as it uses AI text generation. If student’s use third-party proofreaders, these cannot make any changes that alter the assessment in anyway including correcting language or citation format errors. Third-party alterations to the assessment are a form of academic misconduct.
Plagiarism
Plagiarism can be defined as incorporating another person’s material from books, journals, the internet, another student’s work, or any other source into assessment material without acknowledgement. It includes:
Collusion:
If students submit work for assessment that is falsely presented as the student’s own work but was jointly written with somebody else; this is a form of academic misconduct.
Duplication/Self-Plagiarism:
The inclusion in assessments of a significant amount of identical or substantially similar material to that already submitted for assessment by the student and graded for the same course or any other course or module at GBS or elsewhere is classed as self-plagiarism. It does not include a resubmission of the same piece of work allowed by the examiners in an improved or revised form for reassessment purposes. Self-plagiarism is a form of academic misconduct.
Further clarification of the above can be found in CCCU’s Academic Misconduct documents below
