Our main objectives on this course include learning to apply strategies of effective communication in
oral presentations and in writing. When you participate on this course, the expectation is that you
have come here to learn and to develop your written and oral communication skills. This means that
you are expected to use your own, human voice on this course on communication skills – and not
the voice of an AI tool such as ChatGPT and the like. In other words, whatever you present or submit
should demonstrate your learning and skills and should be generated with your own, unique human
intelligence.

The policy on this implementation of the course LC-1117 on using AI-tools is as follows:
We expect the coursework that you submit or present to have been created by you and not by AI.
Write all your text and complete the assignments yourself with your own unique voice. In reporting
and writing assignments, refer to all sources properly using standard citation techniques and
referencing. The Turnitin plagiarism and AI detection tool is in use to assess your submitted work,
especially the essay draft and the final version. Questionable originality will result in 0 points and
no feedback from the teacher.

If you wish, you may use AI tools such as ChatGPT during the early brainstorming or initial research
stages of an assignment – to discover interesting topics to talk about or further perspectives to
analyse about a topic. Important: Limit your use of AI only to the early brainstorming stage. Do not
submit AI-generated content as your submission.
If you use AI to help you research a topic, you should always find the original sources and readthem yourself rather than rely on the sources AI tools such as ChatGPT may give you, as such sources may be invented or non-existent. Always verify that the sources suggested by ChatGPT are real and
valid.

It is acceptable to use proofreading tools in a limited sense to check the accuracy of spelling or
grammar. However, be prepared to indicate, explain and motivate such use of proofreading tools. AI
tools which rewrite your text, for example from informal style to formal style, are not allowed. Using such tools to improve your own writing will also be flagged by the AI detection tool.
