AI generated content: Using a machine, such as a computer, to perform tasks that mimic human intelligence. This includes ChatGPT, iA Writer, Gemini, DALL-E, etc. on any assignment (including discussion posts, quizzes, papers, homework, projects, artwork, oral presentations, exams, and other work). Basic grammar checks on AI grammar apps (such as Grammarly) are permitted (unless instructor specifies that they are not), but any advanced rephrasing and rewriting features offered by AI grammar apps (such as Grammarly Pro) are not permitted and will be flagged as AI. Translators are not permitted and will be flagged as AI. If specifically allowed by your instructor, any AI generated material must be identified and cited. When in doubt, always ask your instructor.
