Artificial Intelligence (AI) Guide for Students 

Artificial Intelligence (AI) uses computer systems to perform tasks typically requiring human thought, such as language comprehension and problem-solving. Generative AI tools like Copilot and ChatGPT can assist students with brainstorming, research, proofreading, and learning. At The Gordon, AI is a valuable resource for enhancing learning, creativity, and digital skills when used thoughtfully. However, students must be aware of its limitations and guidelines to maintain academic integrity.


DO

  • Check unit guides and course handbooks for AI guidelines.
  • Follow specific assessment instructions about AI use that your teacher communicates or are published in Gordon Online.
  • Properly attribute and cite AI assistance when used. The Study Support team can assist if you are not sure what to do.
  • Use AI to support and enhance learning, not replace thinking.
  • Verify accuracy of AI-generated content when permitted.
  • Ask teachers for clarification when unsure.

DON'T

  • Don't use AI for assessments without explicit permission - don't assume AI use is allowed if it is not mentioned.
  • Don't let AI replace your own thinking and effort.
  • Don't rely on AI to produce assessment responses.
  • Don't submit AI-generated content as your own work.
  • Don't use AI to generate, paraphrase, or translate without approval.
  • Don't trust AI content without verification (may contain errors, bias, fabricated references).
  • Don't compromise the authenticity of your learning.
