Academic staff should update their syllabi to include a course policy on the use of GenAI. The policy should be specific about how the use of GenAI is or is not allowed in the course, as this provides transparency for students and academic staff when matters of academic integrity arise. In general, there are three permission levels: 1. Use of GenAI is permitted within the course policy; 2. Use of GenAI is permitted in certain circumstances or with explicit permission; 3. Use of GenAI is prohibited. Students should adhere to the course policy on the use of GenAI, as shown in the syllabus of each individual course. It is essential for students to refer to the Rules on Handling Student Academic Dishonesty of the University of Macau. They should know that the course policies of different courses may vary in terms of types of permission granted.
