Original evidence

Evidence 1
It is required that students mention the use of AI. Therefore, when any form of AI is used, the use of these tools should be included in the appendix... Students using AI, without the explicit consent of the instructor and acknowledgement of the tool in an appendix, should therefore be considered to have committed academic misconduct.
