Attendance and Tardiness

Since participation in class activities constitutes a significant part of a student’s progress and grade assessment, tardiness and excessive absence for any reason (including certified medical and work excuses) will affect a student’s ability to pass the course. 

Academic Integrity/Plagiarism

“Academic honesty is expected of all students at AUC. Academic dishonesty includes any attempt to present academic work which is not one’s own, or to present the same work in more than one class. Instructors may take a number of actions to deal with academic dishonesty, ranging from a reduction in course grade to an official letter of reprimand and warning placed in the student’s file, or to dismissal from the university.” 

Use of Artificial Intelligence (AI)

Any use of AI tools or generative artificial intelligence during assessments and timed tasks is strictly prohibited.

AI tools can be used to personalize students learning experience and support students in improving specific aspects of their writing, such as grammar, citation formatting, or enhancing clarity. AI tools cannot, however, be used to generate the whole assignment or major parts of it. Students work should reflect their own ideas, analysis, voice, and critical thinking skills. Over-reliance on AI-generated content will result in penalties. The instructor will provide guidance on how and when it is acceptable and appropriate to use AI tools. 

  • It is student's responsibility to understand the limitations and biases of AI tools, and critically evaluate AI-generated content. 
  • Students must provide proper acknowledgment and attribution of any AI-generated content used in assignments, when allowed by the instructor, to maintain academic integrity. 

The above rules support the educational objectives of the course by creating a balanced approach to AI adoption and fostering intellectual growth, and academic integrity at the same time. Failure to comply with these rules will be considered a breach of academic integrity and will result in penalties. 

Check AUC's statement on the use of artificial intelligence tools.
