Coventry University Group recognises that AI (Artificial Intelligence) tools are powerful and can help your learning. The University aims to help students understand the potential uses and risks of these technologies and will set out how it expects you to use AI in your module and assignment brief.
Each assessment will categorise the type and level of AI usage permitted via a red/ amber/green system:
- Green: AI is required to complete the module/assessment. Use critical thinking
- Amber: AI use is allowed as specified by the module team
- Red: No AI is allowed
- Getting inspiration
- Planning the structure of your work
- Data collection
- Summarising notes
- Analysing data sets
- Translating small sections of your work
- Presenting data in graphs, charts or slides
- Proofreading
- Hiding copied work
- Translating copied text to reduce similarity
- Copying and pasting AI-generated content without changes or citations
- Using AI detection tools, unless instructed
- Submit AI-generated work as your own
- Use AI data without cross-checking important information
- Assume you can or can't use AI- check your module brief for more information
- Follow the assessment brief instructions
