Always check your course guide in Brightspace to understand whether, and to what extent, GenAI is permitted in your coursework. If there is no information in your course guide, using GenAI to generate the content of your assignments is not allowed and can be considered as an irregularity or even fraud. This also applies for theses; seek guidance from your lecturer or supervisor.
WUR's student GenAI rules tell students to check the course guide for whether and how GenAI is permitted; if the guide has no information, using GenAI to generate assignment content is not allowed and may be irregularity or fraud, including for theses.
You are never allowed to submit work entirely generated by GenAI as your own or fabricate research data. Doing so constitutes academic fraud. When using GenAI tools, be transparent about their role in your work. You are ultimately responsible for the content you submit and for the accuracy and integrity of your work.
WUR's student GenAI rules say students are never allowed to submit work entirely generated by GenAI as their own or fabricate research data, and they must be transparent about GenAI's role in submitted work.
In principle, the use of AI is allowed as/for: Sparring partner / Brainstorming; Feedback tool for textual improvement; Data processing script development; Literature searching; Transcription. Under the conditions that the use of AI may only be in support of the development of these skills and not a replacement of these skills; students remain accountable; and use must be acknowledged or documented.
Wageningen University's MSc Thesis Course Guide says AI is in principle allowed for brainstorming, text feedback, code/script development, literature searching, and transcription, but only under conditions including skill support rather than replacement, student accountability, acknowledgement/documentation, data restrictions, copyright respect, and verification of code.
Any use of artificial intelligence (AI) to create ready-made content of an assignment is considered an irregularity that may lead to suspicion of fraud, unless the use of AI is explicitly allowed in the assignment description and the use of AI has been documented adequately.
