Academic Integrity
University of Colombo says AI use in assessments is not permitted unless instructions explicitly authorize it, and unauthorized AI use in summative assessment is considered cheating and an examination offence.
Review: Agent reviewed
Normalized value: Unauthorized AI use in assessments is prohibited and may be treated as cheating.
Oryginalny dowod
Evidence 1Using 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.
Widok lokalny only
AI use in assessments is prohibited unless explicitly authorized, and unauthorized summative-assessment AI use is treated as cheating.
