Assessment and Generative AI: Student Guidance and Resources
High Level Principles at Bath The University of Bath is aligning itself to five key principles being adopted across UK Universities to ensure our assessments remain robust, fair and continue to prepare students for the future workplace. The five key principles are that we will: Support students and staff to become AI-literate Equip staff to support students to use generative AI tools effectively and appropriately in their learning experience Adapt teaching and assessment to incorporate the ethical use of generative AI and support equal access Ensure academic rigour and integrity is upheld Work collaboratively to share best practice as the technology and its application in education evolves
Assessment Categories for Coursework and GenAI Use Rolling out this year, we will communicate where, when and to what extent the use of GenAI is permitted in your work. This will be categorised in terms of where the use of GenAI: Type A Type B Type C Is not permitted Is permitted as an assistive tool for specific defined processes within the assessment (such as testing code or translating content) Has an integral role and is used as a primary tool throughout the assessment process If in doubt, please speak to your tutors or refer to assessment information.
Academic Integrity You have not presented content created by generative AI tools (such as Large Language Models like ChatGPT) as though it were your own work. - Academic Integrity Statement - 1 2 3 Read the Academic Integrity Statement and make use of Understanding of GenAI Develop your Understanding of GenAI and AI Literacy Understand how to reference GenAI in your work acknowledge and reference GenAI in your work (where permitted) Understanding of GenAI training resources reference GenAI in your work training resources our training resources
Part 1: Acknowledging use of GenAI Permission Good Practice Acknowledge and Reference Your tutors will communicate their This means not solely relying on the answers GenAI tools generates. GenAI tools can hallucinate (e.g. make up) answers and references. You are responsible for the accuracy of your own work! If you do use GenAI as a tool to assist you in your assessment, follow our guidance on how to acknowledge this (see next slide) good academic practice good academic practice expectations around your use of GenAI in your assessment. our Library Where permitted, as with any academic writing, you must follow good academic practice. If you do need to quote directly from GenAI tools, follow the guidance from our Library or your Department, where provided. Avoid copying large chunks of text from GenAI tools (unless instructed to by your tutor as part of a specific task) this may constitute plagiarism Remember: as per our academic integrity statement, the final output, however you use GenAI, must remain your own work! Instead, you need to cross-check any GenAI responses, and where possible find published and peer-reviewed sources to reference in your writing.
Part 2: Acknowledging use of GenAI Unless your tutor tells you otherwise, as a general expectation where you have used GenAI tools in any piece of academic work to assist in the process of creating or refining academic work for very limited use (e.g. to make minor edits or to as a drafting tools), we recommend that rather than referencing each time you have used GenAI to edit a word/sentence or to provide minor suggestions to your work, you should instead acknowledge this at the start of your assignment. We would suggest the following format (unless instructed by your tutor to do otherwise): Example: The minimum requirement to include in acknowledgements is as follows: I acknowledge that this work is my own, and I used ChatGPT 3.5 (Open AI, https://chat.openai.com/) to summarise my initial notes and to proofread my final draft only. Name and version of the generative AI system used; e.g. ChatGPT-3.5 Publisher (company that made the AI system); e.g. OpenAI URL of the AI system Brief description (single sentence) of context in which the tool was used. 3. Confirmation work is your own.
