Sources Citations and AI Use
Project work should show your own understanding and follow the current course academic-integrity and AI-use guidance.
Before using generative AI or another outside source for graded work, review the AI Usage section of the current activity in D2L Brightspace.
The current activity instructions control if they differ from this wiki.
Helpful support should still leave you able to explain your design and code.
Good uses of outside help may include:
- Explaining an error message
- Reviewing a small section for readability
- Explaining how a Python concept works
- Suggesting tests to try
- Helping you compare your work with a requirement
Do not use a public question, Discussion, or AI prompt to obtain or distribute a completed graded solution.
If you use generative AI or another source in a way that the current course guidance says must be acknowledged or cited, include that acknowledgment in the required form.
Do not invent citations. Keep enough information about the source or tool you used so you can identify it accurately.
Do not post completed project solutions publicly in:
- GitHub Discussions
- GitHub Issues
- Public repositories
- Public forums or answer-sharing sites
Keep your personal project repository private unless current course instructions say otherwise.
A useful support question focuses on the problem you are trying to understand.
For example, instead of asking someone to write the full game, ask about the specific behavior or error you are working on. This makes the help more useful for learning and reduces the chance of replacing your own work with someone else's solution.
