Instructors should clearly communicate their expectations and policies regarding the use of Generative AI tools and ensure that students understand the importance of academic honesty and originality. For assessments that do not allow students to use generative AI tools, students should be informed of the consequences of violation.
For assessments where the use of generative AI tools is permitted, students should be told the specific areas and tasks where generative AI tools could be applied and what constitutes unauthorised use (see the Incorporate AI page for details).
In this link (Statement Templates), instructors can access templates of statements they can adapt according to their requirements:
- Statement to explain the use of Generative AI tools in assessment to students.
- Statements of Declaration for students in assessments where the use of Generative AI is permitted, restricted, partially permitted under certain conditions specified by the instructor.
For SMU Instructors:
In the event suspected unauthorised use of Generative AI tools are detected, please apply the DRIVE approach and refer to the Faculty Handbook for Academic Violation.
Instructors may seek guidance from Associate Deans, and also contact the University Council of Student Conduct for more information:
