Appropriate AI Guides/Prompts for Student Use

By default, GenAI is not to be used on assignments or assessments. 

If/when GenAI is allowed, the teacher will explain the level and type of GenAI use permitted for that assignment. 

Using GenAI in a way that does not follow the assignment directions, turning in AI-generated work as your own, or not disclosing GenAI use when required may be considered an academic integrity violation.
