Template for student declarationsin AI-supported and AI-integrated assessments
From September 2024, all assessments that come under the category of AI-supported and AI-integrated will be required to include a student declaration acknowledging their use of GenAI in their assessment. This will be included as an additional page at the front of the assessment, following this template (which should be included in the assessment brief):
When submitting your assessment, you must include the following declaration, ticking all that apply:
AI-supported/AI-integrated use is permitted in this assessment. I acknowledge the following uses of GenAI tools in this assessment:
口 I have used GenAI tools for developing ideas.
口 I have used GenAI tools to assist with research or gathering information.
口 I have used GenAI tools to help me understand key theories and concepts.
口 I have used GenAI tools to identify trends and themes as part of my data analysis.
口 I have used GenAI tools to suggest a plan or structure for my assessment.
口 I have used GenAI tools to give me feedback on a draft.
口 I have used GenAI tool to generate image, figures or diagrams.
口 I have used GenAI tools to proofread and correct grammar or spelling errors.
口 I have used GenAI tools to generate citations or references.
口 Other [please specify]
I have not used any GenAI tools in preparing this assessment.
I declare that I have referenced use of GenAI outputs within my assessment inline with the University referencing guidelines.
Please note that submitting your work without an accompanying declaration, or one with no ticked boxes, will be considered a declaration that you have not used GenAI tools in preparing your work.
If a declaration sheet cannot be uploaded as part of an assignment (i.e. at the start of an essay), students understand that by submitting their assessment that are confirming they have followed the assessment brief and guidelines about GenAI use.
