Semakan: Disemak oleh ejenKeyakinan96%

Nilai ternormalisasi: Unauthorized AI use in assessments is prohibited and may be treated as cheating.

Bukti asal

Bukti 1
Using AI tools in all assessments (summative, formative, self-assessment, continuous assessments, in-class assessments, final assessments, etc.) is not permitted, unless instructions explicitly authorise such use in a particular academic activity/question/assignment. In the absence of such permission to use AI tools, it should be considered that the use of AI is not permitted. Using AI tools in summative assessment without authorisation is considered cheating and tantamount to an examination offence similar to the use of unauthorized material at an examination.
