Academic Integrity

UC San Diego Academic Integrity Office student guidance says that if an instructor has not said a student can use GenAI for a class or assessment, the student cannot use it; silence does not equal permission.

Review: Agent reviewedConfidence95%

Evidencia original

Evidence 1
To summarize: If your instructor did not say you could, then you can't. Silence does not equal permission.

Academic Integrity

UC San Diego Academic Integrity Office guidance says students authorized to use a GenAI tool should use it only in the way authorized for that assignment, should not assume authorization extends to other assignments or courses, and are advised to save history and acknowledge use to the professor.

Review: Agent reviewedConfidence93%

Normalized value: authorized_genai_use_limited_to_assignment_and_should_be_acknowledged

Evidencia original

Evidence 1
Yes, you're good to use the GenAI tool in the way that instructor authorized for that particular assignment. Don't assume you can use it in ways not authorized or for other assignments or courses. Also, if you use it, save your history so you can share it and acknowledge your use to the professor.
