Developing and articulating clear AI policies in courses and on specific assignments takes time and often requires frequent clarification. Despite the best efforts to delineate how and when AI can and cannot be used, there are occasions when instructors suspect a student has used AI inappropriately. This TWW Blog, Hard Conversations: Navigating Cases of Suspected AI Misuse, offers practical advice for preparing for and talking with students about unwarranted AI use.

If you would like to consult with a member of the WAC Team about ways to discuss inappropriate AI use with students, please schedule a consultation.
