Tech Transparency

Students write a transparency statement explaining precisely how they used an AI tool during an academic assignment. They then analyze whether their statement replaces a citation or supplements one. This task emphasizes honesty, academic integrity, and clarity about AI involvement. Learners develop the ability to differentiate when AI assistance affects the ideas or language of a piece, and therefore requires citation.
