Syllabi

Acknowledging that there is no one-size-fits-all instructional approach, it is up to instructors to craft their own syllabus statements and assignment guidelines, clarifying whether student use of generative AI tools is (a) prohibited, (b) allowable with prior permission, (c) allowable with acknowledgment, or (d) freely permitted with no acknowledgment. The following examples and resources provide models and can guide course use:

• Pew Faculty Teaching and Learning Center: Syllabus Policies & Assignment Guidelines
• University of Delaware, four course policy categories, syllabus language examples
• Barnard College, decision matrices, assignment/syllabus statements
• Western University of Health Sciences, Padlet collection of university policies
