Using Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Generative AI tools without instructor approval violates the CTC academic integrity policy.

The use of AI-based tools (such as ChatGPT) to complete any course submission is not permissible unless specifically allowed by your instructor. Instructor-approved usage of AI-based tools on any assignment will require usage transparency. Transparency is obtained by clearly marking "AI output,” including the specific tool(s) used, and listing the text of your query/prompts used. For example, if you use ChatGPT-3, you must cite "ChatGPT-3. (YYYY, Month DD of query). "Text of your query/prompt." Generated using OpenAI. https://chat.openai.com/.”
