It is important to note that students are expected to create their own work and not solely rely on generative AI for reports, essays, dissertations, and other academic assignments.

However, with the instructor's approval, students may use AI to assist them within the limits of the instructor's guidelines.

It is crucial to exercise caution regarding the authenticity of the content generated by AI. Using such content may lead to unintentional plagiarism or copyright infringement. Therefore, students should apply their critical thinking skills when utilizing AI-generated text to avoid any such issues.
