AI Use

It is premissiable to use AI tools to correct and improve the English in your laboratory reports. Indicate in your report if you used an AI tool to to correct and improve the English. See the KU AI policy at https://ai.ku.edu/students  Microsoft 365 Copilot the approved AI chat tool at KU, it is available to all KU Lawrence students, faculty, staff, and researchers. You can access all available features of Copilot Chat by logging onto m365.cloud.microsoft with your KU online ID to access the features within your KU Microsoft 365 license. When you're signed into your KU account, your data and activity within Microsoft Copilot are significantly more protected than when using external generative AI tools (such as ChatGPT, Gemini, or others). This enhanced security is one of the key reasons Copilot is the approved generative AI tool for use across campus. Copilot can be used to check your solutions to homework problems.  Beware that Copilot can give wrong answers.   Treat information provided by Copilot as one source of information, verify any information given by AI tools with other sources.

Academic Integrity and Plagiarism

The department, school and university have very strict guidelines regarding academic misconduct. On tests work ALONE! Solve tests on your own, do not communicate with anyone else to get help on answers the test questions. If we need to have on-line tests; this is an honor system.  It is expected that as professionals you WILL act ethically.  It is expected that you will always act professionally and ethically. Obviously, copying is not allowed on exams. Obviously, copying is not allowed on exams. Students are expected to submit their own work on individual homework and projects. Lending or borrowing all or part of a simulation model or program from another student is not allowed. Students ARE allowed to borrow and modify any code on this class web site in their projects. Instances of cheating will result in a referral to the department chairman and the dean of engineering.
All sources in your written work (project reports) must be properly referenced; if you use a source from the literature or the idea of another for your work you must reference it. If you quote or copy a block of text, it must be cited and included in quotation marks (if a sentence or less in length) or in block quote style (if more than a sentence in length). If you paraphrase text (reword a phrase, sentence, or paragraph), you must also quote or blockquote followed by “[paraphrased]” in addition to proper citation. Figures taken from other sources must be referenced. I recommend that you take intermediate notes from which you write your own words. I strongly recommend that you not write in one window while displaying the work of others in another window; this is asking for trouble. “Unintentional” paraphrasing is also not an acceptable excuse for academic misconduct.

If you have any doubt, talk to me – inexperience in past writing or coming from an environment where plagiarism was permitted will not be an acceptable excuse for academic misconduct.

• Use of EdTech services
  • Professors and instructors at the KU School of Engineering are aware that some students are actively posting homework, laboratory, and exam questions and responses to EdTech services (e.g., Chegg) even during exam time frames.
    Keep in mind that when a person signs up to participate by either uploading, and/or downloading, and/or using posted material from these sites, the “terms of service” that are agreed to do not protect the person when KU and/or the School of Engineering decide to conduct investigations related to academic misconduct (e.g., plagiarism and/or cheating).
    In fact, EdTech services, like Chegg, retain contact information of students who use their services and will release that information, which is traceable, upon request. Using these services constitutes academic misconduct, which is not tolerated in the School of Engineering. It violates Article 3r, Section 6 of its Rules & Regulations, and may lead to grades of F in compromised course(s), transcript citations of academic misconduct, and expulsion from the University of Kansas.
    If unsure about assignments, it is important that students use the allowable available resources, such as instructor office hours, graduate teaching assistants, and/or tutoring. The School of Engineering wants students to be successful; cheating is not the way to attain that success.

• Advice on Writing
  • Most colleges and universities have a writing center, a place for students to talk about their writing with trained peer consultants. At KU, we call our writing centers Writer's Roosts. When you visit, bring your work in progress and an idea of what you would like to work on-organization, support, documentation, editing, etc. The Roosts are open in several different locations across campus; please check the website at www.writing.ku.edu for current locations and hours. The Roosts welcome both drop-ins and appointments, and there is no charge for their services. For more information, please call 864-2399 or send an e-mail to writing@ku.edu.
