AI
  • You may use AI tools to collect and analyse data, provided that you appropriately cite your sources and verify the accuracy of the AI-generated content.
  • Language assistance: You may use AI tools to improve your writing, grammar, and spelling. However, you should ensure that you still demonstrate a good understanding of the subject matter and do not rely solely on the AI-generated content.
  • Creative writing: You may use AI tools to generate ideas or inspiration for creative writing projects. However, the final work should still be your own original content.

Slide 16 - Tekstslide

Where you take information from another source, you need to acknowledge this in your work.

  • If you are required to complete written assignments your tutor will show you how acknowledge your sources (where you got your information).
  • This is called referencing; it ensures that you acknowledge where information has been written by somebody else rather than presenting it as your own work.
  • It is important that you are able to show that you have researched your topic but also important to reference.
