The Use of AI in Assessments:

Students must make sure that work submitted for assessment is demonstrably
their own. If any sections of the portfolio is reproduced directly from AI
generated responses you will not have independently met the marking criteria and therefore will not be rewarded. For full details of the use of AI in assessments please see the JCQ document below.
