Syllabus Requirements
CBS faculty must acknowledge generative AI tools and outline expectations in the syllabus, including learning goals and whether such tools are allowed for assignments.
Suggested Syllabus Language:
- If you want students to limit their use of generative AI tools,
- Students in this course may only use Generative AI tools, such as ChatGPT, for idea generation and must include a citation describing any usage. Using these tools to generate responses to assignments violates CBS's Honor Code, and I will report suspected instances of plagiarism. Please contact me if you have any questions about this policy.
- If you will encourage students to use generative AI tools,
- You may use Generative AI tools, such as ChatGPT, for your work in this course, but only in the ways I have specified in the assignments. When you use any of these tools, you must include a citation describing how you used them to generate your response to the assignment. Please contact me if you have any questions about this policy before submitting.
- Sample citation format: "Description of chat" prompt. Name of generative AI tool, Company, Date of chat, URL.
- Using this format, one citation might look like this: "Examples of harm reduction initiatives" prompt. ChatGPT, OpenAI, 4 Mar. 2023
