MALPRACTICE, PLAGIARISM AND THE USE OF AI
NESA states that malpractice is any attempt to gain an unfair advantage over other students. It is unacceptable in any form, including but not limited to:
- Plagiarism
- In reference to AI chat bots/tools such as grammarly, some examples of plagiarism can be identified as (but are not limited to):
- Handing in work generated from these AI tools as your own
- Using AI to rewrite your essay so it sounds better
- Copying and pasting chunks of text from AI generated information.
- Using AI to complete in class tasks and telling the teacher that this is your own work.
- collusion
- misrepresentation
- breach of assessment conditions
- bringing unauthorised equipment or material
- bringing in or using electronic devices unless specifically approved.
The College treats allegations of malpractice very seriously and detected malpractice will jeopardise a student’s achievement within the task.
Some tips when engaging with AI for Learning.
Students should focus on using AI as a tool and not a Substitute for their own work. AI should complement your work, not replace it. Treat AI-generated content as a resource or reference point, and always add your own analysis, interpretation, and critical thinking to the output.
It is mandatory that students cite their sources. Just like with any other source, if you're using AI-generated content, make sure to cite it properly in your work. Give credit where credit is due, whether it's AI-generated text, images, or data.
It is the responsibility of students to always verify the accuracy and reliability of the information generated by AI.
