Other information
Students are not allowed to use generative artificial intelligence (AI) to write papers or presentation materials, unless expressly authorized by the instructor. Any use other than those explicitly authorized is prohibited and will be considered cheating under the terms of the RGEE.
If the student chooses to use one or more AIs (or any other online tool), they must systematically indicate all the parts in which these tools were used, e.g. in footnotes. The student should specify whether the AI was used to search for information, to write the text, or to improve or correct it. The student should also mention which AI (ChatGPT, Copilot, DeepL, etc.) (or other online tool) was used and the date on which it was used. Information sources must be systematically cited in accordance with bibliographic referencing standards. The student remains responsible for the content of their work, regardless of the sources used. In order to ensure that the student’s written work is personal, criteria such as originality, critical thinking, creativity and illustration with examples (e.g., from their own experience) will be taken into account.
Any behavior on the part of the student that prevents or attempts to prevent, in whole or in part, the correct assessment of their knowledge, skills and/or competences will be considered an irregularity that may lead to sanctions
