CLAW3400: Industry and Community Project

• Group plan aims to articulate the issues the group will address and develop a project plan. 
• Individual statement aims to analyse and reflect on students’ own and other members’ ways of contributing to their work on this project.
• Group report aims to conduct in depth analysis/es and research, discuss the results, and provide recommendations or solutions to the issues outlined in the group plan.
• Group presentation including Executive Summary aims to present students’ work and findings to the project partner.
• Group work survey aims to evaluate student’s contributions relative to the contributions of other team members.
• Attendance aims to ensure active participation by all team members for the project work.

Detailed information for each assessment can be found on Canvas and the Project Outline.

* Individual contributions to group assessments may adjust the final grade that a student receives, through what is known as a Relative Performance Factor. Please see Canvas Assignment page for more details.

Using AI in ICPU

The Use of Generative AI across multiple sectors of work is increasing exponentially. While use of these tools brings new opportunities such as increased productivity, there are also many potential limitations such as inhibiting the development of analytical and creative thinking skills. Importantly, in ICPU where 80% of assessments are group-based, your use of AI tools must also be negotiated collegially and adhere to the Student Charter 2020, including upholding honesty, ethics, professionalism, and academic integrity (please ensure you are familiar with the updated Academic Integrity 2022 policy).   

AI tools permitted 

You are permitted to use automated writing tools and generative artificial intelligence (AI) to facilitate your learning and completion of this assignment in individual and group project work.  Please adhere to the following guidelines:  

• Do not enter confidential, personal, copyrighted or otherwise sensitive information into any AI tool, including but not limited to materials shared by industry and/or community partners (noting also the confidentiality clauses that apply in the Student Deed Poll) 

• If you use these tools, you must be aware of their limitations, biases, and propensity for fabrication 

• Do not rely on the accuracy of outputs. You remain responsible for your work. This means you must independently verify and edit AI-generated content to ensure the integrity, accuracy, and suitability of the output 

While there are many AI tools available, both free and paid, we strongly recommend the use of tools endorsed by the University such as Microsoft Copilot, Cogniti and Adobe Firefly. For a list of AI tools and their uses, see the Different Generative AI Tools page on the AI in Education Canvas site. 

Where AI is used, you are advised to keep copies of the prompts you provided and AI outputs as evidence of your research and writing process. This allows you to produce an accurate acknowledgement of AI use when you submit your work, see guidance below. This can be requested by the unit coordinator if there is any uncertainty about the originality of your work. 

Acknowledging the use of AI 

It is not appropriate to copy-paste AI-generated responses directly as part of your own writing since the work you submit should reflect the understanding you have acquired, your critical engagement with the material and your process of continuous revision and improvement. 

Where AI is used, you are advised to keep copies of the prompts you provided and AI outputs as evidence of your research and writing process. This allows you to produce an accurate acknowledgement of AI use when you submit your work, see wording below. This can be requested by the unit coordinator if there is any uncertainty about the originality of your work. 

You must acknowledge any uses of AI by inserting a note at the end of your submission where you need to describe the tool(s) that you used, what prompt(s) you provided, how the output of the artificial intelligence was used or adapted by you, and how you verified sources or information if applicable. This additional description does not add to your word count. An example of such an acknowledgement that you may provide might look like: 

• I acknowledge the use of ChatGPT (https://chat.openai.com/) to refine the academic language of my own work. On date I submitted my entire essay (link to original document here) with the prompt to <“Improve the academic tone and accuracy of language, including grammatical structures, punctuation and vocabulary”>. The output (link here) was then modified further to better represent my own tone and style of writing. One of the limitations I noted was insert limitation and I revised my assessment to address this limitation by insert response. 

Please note, your project supervisor may require you to provide a written statement if you would like to use AI heavily in your work, (i.e. for multiple approved uses above or heavy use within any individual use categories), a different approach may be needed including clearly stating the percentage of work attributed to AI for each assessment. If you are unsure or have any concerns, please discuss these with your Project Supervisor in advance. In all cases, individual group members must be transparent with their group members about intended use of generative AI in groupwork.
