AI in your studies

AI can help you explore ideas, get started, practise, structure your work, receive feedback, summarise material and test your understanding. But it should support–not replace–your own learning, judgement and work.

Check your course instructions – the most important rule

Different courses and assignments may have different rules for AI use. Always check:

• the course syllabus
• Canvas
• assignment instructions
• examination instructions
• information from your teacher or course director.

If you are unsure whether AI is allowed in a course, assignment or examination, check the instructions or ask your teacher or course director before using it.

Support learning by the use of AI

Use AI to support learning. Not to replace it. Good uses of AI may include:

• brainstorming ideas
• asking for explanations of concepts
• creating practice questions
• getting feedback on structure and clarity
• comparing arguments and perspectives
• summarising texts as a first step in reading
• improving your understanding of code, data and methods
• practising how to explain something in your own words

AI should not be used to:

• submit AI-generated text as your own
• replace your own thinking and judgement
• rely on AI without checking facts and sources
• use AI in an examination where it is not permitted
• upload other people’s work, sensitive information or copyrighted material
• conceal AI use when you are required to disclose it

You are responsible for everything you submit

You are always responsible for the accuracy, quality and academic integrity of your work, even if you have used AI as support. AI can produce incorrect, biased or misleading information. It can also invent references, misunderstand concepts or give answers that sound convincing but are wrong. You must therefore always check AI-generated material critically and verify important claims against reliable sources.

Be transparent

Be transparent about when, how and why you use AI in your studies. If AI use is allowed in an assignment, follow the course instructions on how to report it. This may include stating which tool you used, what you used it for, and how you checked or revised the output. If the instructions are unclear, ask your teacher or course director.

Protect your privacy and other people’s material

When using AI tools, do not enter:

• sensitive personal data
• patient data
• other students’ work
• full-text copyrighted material
• unpublished research material
• internal documents that must not be shared externally
• confidential case company material.

When in doubt, do not upload the material.
