- Students are expected to learn and demonstrate their understanding of the course material - they may be asked to do this through written responses, quizzes, and even hands-on artmaking. Students are expected to complete assignments on their own, creating their own original work; using AI tools like Grammarly AI to refine or assist in the technical writing of an assignment can help students better understand how to construct coherent sentences and articulate essays/papers. AI should be viewed as a tool rather than a means to plagiarize. It is crucial to realize that responses crafted by ChatGPT, Google AI, or similar tools may not correctly convey terminology and information or demonstrate the student's ability to apply what they know.
