Academic Integrity

From UWG's Academic Honesty page:

As members of the academic community, all UWG students are expected to recognize and uphold standards of intellectual and academic integrity.

How to Avoid a Violation

What comprises academic dishonesty and how can you avoid it?

  • Plagiarism - ALWAYS cite your sources
  • Cheating on Exams - Utilize only authorized materials during proctored exams
  • Unauthorized Collaboration - Work individually on assignments unless your professor approves group work
  • Falsification - Always truly represent material and information in all academic work
  • Multiple Submissions - Only submit work for which you have not previously received credit
  • Unauthorized Use or Distribution of Copyrighted Material in eCore and eMajor Courses - Never use or distribute copyrighted material without permission. This includes all eCore and eMajor course material
  • Unauthorized Use of Artificial Intelligence, etc. - Never use artificial technology or any other technology for the purpose of academic dishonesty

Determining how you may use AI

Is my use of AI academically dishonest?

In order to determine this, ask yourself a few questions:

  • Is the AI doing the work for you?
    • AI is a tool, but it should not be used to do your coursework for you. If you are being assessed for spelling, a spellcheck is academically dishonest. Translation tools should not be used for a foreign language class.
  • Has the course instructor allowed the use of AI?
    • If your professor would penalize the use of a specific tool or class of tools if they were aware of its use, it should not be used.

If your chosen artificial intelligence tool is allowed, always cite your source. You may find out how to correctly cite AI here.
