No generative AI:

1. In this course any use of generative artificial intelligence such as Chat GPT, DALL-E, Bard, and others will be considered a violation of academic integrity and will be treated accordingly. According to Rowan University policy, students committing any act of academic dishonesty may fail the assignment, fail the course, or face other sanctions. All violations of academic integrity must be reported to the Provost’s office. To avoid plagiarism, students should provide appropriate documentation whenever quoting, paraphrasing, summarizing, or otherwise using the language or ideas of others.
   
   
2. The purpose of the assignments in this course is to help you develop key skills and to assess whether you have mastered the course learning objectives. Using generative AI or other unauthorized tools on these assignments defeats the purpose, misrepresents your mastery of the material, and is considered an academic integrity violation. If you have questions about what resources may be allowed on a specific assignment please let me know.

Some generative AI:

Although generative AI can be used as a tool to support learning (e.g., in obtaining feedback or generating ideas), work submitted by a student should be that of the student and not the work of an AI system. If you include material generated by an AI program, it should be cited like any other reference material. Ultimately, the student bears responsibility for any inaccuracies or misinformation. If you have questions about how AI may be used to complete assignments within the scope of this academic integrity policy, please reach out to your instructor.

Faculty also might choose to list the ways that generative AI could be used on some or all assignments.

At this time, we do NOT recommend relying on any of the numerous “AI Content Detector” programs available on the web or provided through programs such as Turnitin. Such programs have not yet demonstrated their accuracy and do not provide hard evidence for evaluation. There have also been reports of false positives from these software systems that can lead to false accusations made against students.

For this reason, results from these detectors will not be considered as evidence for a Rowan Report of an Academic Integrity Violation but other forms of evidence may be used to make a report.

Some generative AI platforms cannot access copyrighted material from behind paywalls and may not cite them correctly or may create fictitious citations. Additionally, if some of the generative AI platforms cannot find quotations it will sometimes invent, or “hallucinate” quotes.

Evaluate their references carefully because fabrication is a form of academic dishonesty, faculty can submit Academic Integrity Violations based on invented sources and/or quotations.

Please remember that faculty must file an AIV report if they wish to sanction a student for alleged violations.

Schedule a time to discuss the topic of the paper with the student and ask follow up questions to verify their understanding. Ideally, this would be built into the course structure so students are not singled out.

Be sure to initiate the discussion in a nonconfrontational manner. We highly recommend "How to lead a discovery interview about contract cheating" for suggestions on how to lead a discovery conversation.
