Check out some examples from your CMDI instructional colleagues:

APRD 1003

"Course AI Policy

• Understanding effective, professional and ethical use of AI is imperative for strategic communication professionals, and you will be allowed and even encouraged to use AI in various classes in APRD. In this class, however, students are not allowed to use advanced automated tools (artificial intelligence or machine learning tools such as ChatGPT or others) on any assignment. Each student is expected to complete each assignment without assistance from AI. Use of AI will be treated as a form of academic dishonesty akin to plagiarism or cheating."

APRD 2005 Strategic Writing

"Note on AI

• AI is used in creative industries such as advertising and public relations and we’ll have several assignments that reflect this use. The purpose of incorporating AI into your assignments is so that you have working knowledge of how to use AI as a tool to assist in your writing versus to replace your original, creative, and critical thought.ÌýIf AI is not listed on an assignment it is expected that the work you submit is you own original content and any breach of this, e.g., by using AI or copying the work of a peer, is considered a violation of the Honor Code."

AI statements used by Dan Ligon, APRD:

"AI Statement

Using Artificial Intelligence is required for this class. We will treat it as a learning and research partner to enhance our experience. The University provides these AI tools to students: NotebookLM and Gemini app. You can find the other Â鶹Ãâ·Ñ°æÏÂÔØapproved AI platforms here /information-technology/ai-cu-boulder/ai-tools-list

AI-Less Exams

Even though AI is required as part of the learning of this class, AI or any technology will not be allowed during the mid-term or final exams. The mid-term and final exams will be analog multiple choice entered on scantron answer-keys. There will not be an online or remote option. If you miss the exam periods there will not be an opportunity to retake the exams.

General AI statement used by Steve Sanders, APRD:

"Technology and AI

I am fine if you use a laptop or a tablet to take notes during class.ÌýÌýPlease,Ìýno phone usage though as I find it distracts you and others.ÌýÌýIn general, if we find that the use of technology is distracting, we will switch to a no technology policy in the class and pen and paper will be required to take notes.Ìý

For AI, I am fine if you want to use it as an initial research tool / search engine for assignments or for general knowledge.ÌýÌýHowever, use of Generative AI (ChatGPT, Claude, Duet AI, etc.) is prohibited to create assignment submissions or answer quiz questions. The goal is for you to develop the innate knowledge and critical thinking skills on your own, not train AI how to do it for you.ÌýÌýYou will also be asked to present and discuss your work in the class to ensure that you know and understand it as well as help facilitate an overall dynamic and collaborative environment.ÌýÌýThis approach mirrors what you will be expected to do in the working world once you graduate."
