If you allow the use of AI for your assignments, it is important that your students understand when/how to disclose their AI use. And since you're the instructor, you get to decide how you want them to do it! There are various ways you may prefer students to acknowledge their use of AI, including the commonly used method of citation. Depending on your discipline, you may be familiar with a particular citation style already, and thankfully most styles do have recommendations for citing Generative AI tools like ChatGPT. For a brief overview of acknowledging and citing GenAI in academic work, check out this book chapter. For individual style guides, check out the links below.
Other methods have become popular as well, like the use of acknowledgement sections in assignments. Acknowledgement sections are intended to have students explain what tool(s) they used & why, how the tool was used, and how the output was adapted. Generally, acknowledgements of how students used AI tools should include the name of the tool & a link to the website to access it, a description of the type of task the tool they asked the tool to complete, a list of the specific prompt(s) used, and explanation of how the output was used in their work. For more examples of acknowledgement sections, check out this link from Monash University and guidelines for AI use & disclosure advice from UMSL (be sure to try out the AI Tool Acknowledgement Form).
