- AI as a Learning Aid
Key Point
You are always responsible for your work when you use AI — whether for brainstorming, clarifying, or grammar. Always verify everything before you submit it.
Examples
Better understanding of text, concepts and language
✅ Use AI to have complex ideas rephrased in simpler terms.
✅ Compare AI explanations with textbooks or lecture notes to confirm their accuracy.
❌ Don’t assume AI is always right — cross-check facts every time.
❌ Don’t copy AI explanations word-for-word without putting them in your own words.
Brainstorming
✅ Use AI to generate ideas, examples, or outlines.
✅ Choose the best ideas and develop them in your own style.
❌ Don’t copy an AI-generated brainstorm directly into your paper.
❌ Don’t let AI replace your critical thinking or research.
Checking and enhancing syntax and grammar
✅ Use AI to check spelling, grammar, or clarity.
✅ Read edits carefully to make sure your meaning is preserved.
❌ Don’t let AI-generated rewrites change your main ideas or your voice.
❌ Don’t rely on AI for final proofreading without reviewing it yourself.
Excerpt from the Official Guidelines
Students can use AI tools as an educational aid to enhance their learning. Examples of use are the following:
- Better understanding of text, concepts and language
AI tools, for example, can be used to obtain simple or even more detailed explanations of concepts or of elaborate text.
- Brainstorming
AI tools, for example, can serve as a sounding board for bouncing ideas, can provide suggestions or refine a concept. In more complex settings they can also analyse data and find trends or provide predictions for potential outcomes.
- Checking and enhancing syntax and grammar
Besides basic text corrections, AI tools can improve the clarity and readability of the text, the writing style and the structure of the assignment. Students are encouraged to review any text edits proposed by AI tools to pinpoint areas where they can further enhance their writing skills.
