How to check your course AI policy
The governing authority is the institution, course, instructor, and assignment—not a vendor's general description of its tool.
Collect the governing instructions
Read the syllabus, assignment prompt, learning-platform notices, honor code, and instructor clarifications. Preserve the exact wording and date because permissions can differ by assignment.
Evaluate the requested action
Separate consistency checking, proofreading, calculation, brainstorming, source discovery, generated prose, and grading. A policy may permit one action and prohibit another even inside the same product.
Keep feedback evidence-linked
Ask for locations, conflicting excerpts, and questions to verify rather than replacement paragraphs. Check every suggestion against the report, source materials, rubric, and disciplinary rules.
Disclose and ask when needed
Determine whether tool name, prompts, outputs, citations, or an appendix must be disclosed. When the policy is ambiguous, ask the instructor before submitting affected work.
- Do not infer permission from another course.
- Do not let a tool's availability define acceptable use.
- Keep the final reasoning and wording yours.
