Artificial intelligence

Students are Guided to use generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) as indicated in the assessment instructions for this unit, as well as Studiosity Writing Feedback Plus.

GenAI may only be used in authorised ways when completing assessments at UC. This means that GenAI can only be used for an assessment when:

1. the Unit Convener has authorised GenAI use for that assessment
2. the student uses GenAI in the way that the assessment instructions allow
3. the student fully acknowledges their use of GenAI, with proper citations, references and a GenAI Acknowledgement Statement in line with the assessment instructions.

Where the assessment instructions do not specifically state that GenAI may be used and how, then its use is not permitted for that assessment. Students must still provide the required GenAI Acknowledgement Statement to indicate whether GenAI has or has not been used in the preparation of the assessment. If unsure, students should seek advice from the Unit Convener.

Special assessment requirements

Use of Artificial Intelligence in this Unit

Students have permission to utilise assistive academic support services or tools (translation, editing and paraphrasing tools or services) and / or Generative Artificial Intelligence (Gen AI) programs for assessments in this unit, provided the following conditions are met:

1. Students appropriately acknowledge the use of assistive academic support services or Gen AI in the assessment itself, as well as in the reference list (as per APA7 style)

2. Students provide a GenAI Acknowledgement Statement that is placed after the reference list regardless whether Gen AI has been used in this assessment.  The GenAI Acknowledgement Statement should clearly outline what tools or services were utilised and in what ways they were utilised in the process of completing the assessment. If you do not use Gen AI tools in assessment, please indicate it as well. 

3. Students are NOT allowed to use GenAI to generate examples from placement in the assessments. 

4.You may use generative artificial intelligence tools for editing or refining language and grammar

Your Unit Convenor may require additional specific information about how you have used GenAI, such as including the prompts you used or providing the output of the GenAI as an appendix to the submission. These requirements will be specified in the assessment instructions.

It is recommended that you:

- Keep records of the development of the work submitted for the assessment, and any drafts of the works submitted for a work-in-progress review, in a learning portoflio or equivalent. Access to these records may be requested by teaching staff.

- Ensure you are ready to respond to questions about your assessment to demonstrate your achievement of the learning outcomes of that assessment if / when you may be requested to participate in a conversation about your submission.

GenAI supporting information for students

The GenAI for Students guide will assist you in understanding GenAI and how it can be used at the University of Canberra: https://canberra.libguides.com/genai

GenAI and referencing
Each referencing guide provided by the Library provides advice on how to appropriately reference the use of GenAI in-text.

Free and protected access to Microsoft Copilot
The University provides students with free and protected access to Microsoft Copilot and Dall-E. These GenAI services are accessible when you log-in using your UC username and password at https://copilot.microsoft.com/

Recommendation
UC students should avoid using GenAI tools other than the secure Microsoft Copilot system provided by the University for completing assessments. Using this version of Microsoft Copilot ensures your student data, personal information, and intellectual property are protected.

Students must apply academic integrity in their learning and research activities at UC. This includes submitting authentic and original work for assessments and properly acknowledging any sources used.

Academic integrity involves the ethical, honest and responsible use, creation and sharing of information. It is critical to the quality of higher education. Our academic integrity values are honesty, trust, fairness, respect, responsibility and courage.

UC students have to complete the Academic Integrity Module annually to learn about academic integrity and to understand the consequences of academic integrity breaches (or academic misconduct).

UC uses various strategies and systems, including detection software, to identify potential breaches of academic integrity. Suspected breaches may be investigated, and action can be taken when misconduct is found to have occurred.

Information is provided in the Academic Integrity Policy, Academic Integrity Procedure, and University of Canberra (Student Conduct) Rules 2023. For further advice, visit Study Skills.
