At La Trobe, each assessment has its own rules about whether AI can be used and how it can be used. Before starting any assignment, students should carefully review the assessment instructions, marking rubric and LMS guidance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It is compulsory for all students to complete the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.latrobe.edu.au\/students\/admin\/academic-integrity\/academic-integrity-module\">AIM (Academic Integrity Module)<\/a> in their first study period<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Not every assessment allows AI<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">La Trobe uses the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.latrobe.edu.au\/mylatrobe\/how-to-acknowledge-ai-use-in-assessments\/\">AI Assessment Scale<\/a> to indicate the level of AI use permitted in an assessment. Depending on the task, AI may not be allowed at all, or it may be permitted for planning, collaboration or more extensive use. The accepted level of AI use will be outlined in your assessment instructions<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Your work must still be your own<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Even when AI is permitted, you are responsible for demonstrating your own understanding and judgement. Students may be required to critically evaluate AI-generated content, refine ideas independently and ensure final submissions reflect their own learning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Acknowledge AI use<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If AI use is permitted, you must acknowledge how it was used in your assessment. La Trobe provides acknowledgement templates for different levels of AI use and recommends keeping records of prompts, outputs and drafts throughout the assessment process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Protect your academic integrity<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Academic integrity is built on honesty, fairness and responsibility. Inappropriate use of AI may be considered academic misconduct, particularly where students present AI-generated work as their own, fail to acknowledge its use or submit inaccurate or fabricated information.
