Use AI with caution. The university allows you to use AI for research, stimulating thought, correcting grammar, and a few other areas. See the
official policy here.
HOWEVER, if the Turnitin System yields an AI score above 75% you will need to rewrite the paper on your own OR submit substantial documentation attesting to your authorship of the paper. You cannot see your score unless we send the report to you, but you know if you used it to write your papers.
NOTE, for these papers,
every reference must have a working URL that takes the instructor to the precise location for the document used. Failure to do this can be seen as plagiarism. If you have a physical book, you may need to take a picture to prove ownership of the work.
