Can I use ChatGPT and other AI tools in my assessments?
Importantly, these tools must not be used as a replacement of your
critical thinking and analysis skills. AI tools may only be used in an
assessment where it is explicitly permitted by your Unit Coordinator. Where
it is permitted by your Unit Coordinator to use AI, you must always cite and
reference your uses of it. You cannot submit for assessment any work that
is not your own.
