Avoid Unauthorized use of Generative AI

  1. Understand your teacher’s guidelines for AI use for each assignment

  2. Understand which tools are considered to be AI.  For example, some components of Grammarly is now considered generative AI now more than a tool for grammar editing

  3. Cite your use of AI appropriately

  4. Review the SSSD AI Guidance

Responding to Teacher Accusation of Unauthorized AI Use

If you used AI on an assignment and a teacher questions unauthorized use, be honest and use this as a learning opportunity.  Generative AI is a new phenomenon in academics and everyone is working to be accustomed to appropriate use in schools.  Your teacher may give you a 0 on the assignment or offer an opportunity to re-do the assignment for full or partial credit.

If you did not use AI in an unauthorized manner in an assignment and a teacher is suggesting that you did, you can consider the following steps:

  • Explain your process for completing the assignment

  • Provide access for the teacher to review your review/edit history on the document

  • Offer to verbally explain the content of your assignment to show that you understand it

  • Request that SSHS Administration review evidence to make a determination
