My policy is simply this: 

For the sake of your OWN long-term learning, limit your use of AI-tools to checking the accuracy of phrases or words in spelling or meaning and nothing else, this means that programmes, such as Grammarly or Word's grammar and spellcheck, are fine within reason.

For assignments requiring your own research, the text and/or figures are expected to be completely generated by you and appropriately referenced. Again, you may use online tools to check spelling and terminology but not to create partial or entire sentences, or paragraphs.

If you do find yourself forced to use any AI tool for an assignment to create text (sentences and longer), then you must be ready to justify it and clearly indicate its use in the text, for example, by highlighting it in a certain colour or colouring the text in some way. Therefore, you should indicate which part of the text or image has been created by AI, and mention which tools were used, and why. This can be done as as comments in the body of the text or as a separate document. Please also be aware that if you have used ChatGPT more than is reasonable and as described above, then this might affect your coursework, i.e., it might be rejected, and grade.

If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to ask.
