To ensure clear communication with students on essential course information including aspects mentioned in (i) to (iv), the course syllabus should be devised to present course ILOs, assessment components, grading rubrics, and relevant policies like the use of Generative AI tools and the rules of academic integrity clearly and make it accessible to students at the start of the course via Canvas or other appropriate platform.  The University has devised a standardized syllabus template for adoption by undergraduate courses.

Faculty members have raised concerns about integrating AI tools, such as ChatGPT, into assessment activities and identifying student-generated, machine-generated, or student/machine-generated content. However, CEI believes that solely relying on AI detection tools to detect AI-generated content in students’ output is not the best solution, as technology advances quickly and AI detection tools often lag the advancement of Generative AI. Instead of focusing all efforts on finding a bulletproof AI detection tool, we recommend that you shift your focus to reviewing your assessment design.
