AI Syllabus Language Examples
These examples of syllabus language related to AI usage in the classroom were modified from a curated resource by Lance Eaton (linked at bottom) to attend to concerns expressed by Kent State University faculty. Feel free to copy or modify these examples for use in your syllabi.
Use AI Freely
AI Use is Permitted but Limited
You may want to consider having an overall statement in your syllabus and further clarification or reminders within specific assignments as to what AI uses are acceptable. Some students have been taught how to use AI whereas others are not sure where to begin. If you are suggesting or allowing AI in your course, you should provide guidance for students on which tools, writing productive prompts, and the limitations of the tools. Some students may be able to provide suggestions and strategies to other students and you may just need to provide a mechanism for facilitating that communication.
Do Not Use/ Use is Prohibited
