Review: Agent reviewedConfidence93%

Normalized value: assessment_brief_precedence

Original evidence

Evidence 1
This guidance provides a broad overview, but all students must follow specific instructions in module assessment briefs as local guidance always takes precedence. If the brief says AI is not permitted, you must not use it. You must declare any AI use clearly and honestly.

Ai Tool Treatment

Royal Holloway recommends Microsoft Copilot for generative AI use when students log in with Royal Holloway account details, and warns students to be extremely careful when entering data into other generative AI tools.

Review: Agent reviewedConfidence92%

Normalized value: microsoft_copilot_recommended_with_rhul_login

Original evidence

Evidence 1
From the many generative AI tools, Royal Holloway recommends that you use Microsoft Copilot, logging in with your Royal Holloway account details. Please be extremely careful when entering data into a generative AI tool: this is particularly important if you are using one other than MS Copilot and your RHUL login.
