• Beforehand (“An ounce of prevention…”)
  • Develop a Generative AI use policy for your course syllabus and/or assignments
  • Draw students’ attention to that policy
  • Talk openly with students about Generative AI
  • Collect periodic writing samples from students to familiarize yourself with their writing style and voice
• Tell the student why you believe they may have used Generative AI in a way they were not supposed to 
  • Do you see phrasing in their writing that clearly indicates a Generative AI platform wrote it? 
    • “I’m sorry but as a Large Language Model, I can’t….”
    • “Certainly! I’m happy to write that essay for you!” 
  • Is their writing style or vocabulary unexpectedly different than you’ve ever seen it?
  • Does their writing not address the question or prompt in a way you’d expect?
• Engage the student in a conversation about their work
  • Are they able to engage and converse with you about their work or do they have trouble recalling key aspects? 
  • Ask the student to discuss both their thought and writing processes. Are they able to do this? 
  • Can they define terms/words that you believe may have been provided by Generative AI?  
  • Document this interaction. 
• Please consider very carefully before...
  • Using AI detection software. 
  • Assuming that use of words like “delve,” “tapestry,” “landscape” etc automatically means the student used a Generative AI tool. Rather, compare the writing style with various student writing samples. 
• Further action needed?
  • Consult your Chair or Dean  
  • Refer to the Student Code of Conduct - Policy 2-1
