Using Generative AI in <41181 Information Security and Management> Spring 2023: Version 1 Acknowledgement of Country I would like to acknowledge the Gadigal people of the Eora Nation upon whose ancestral lands our City campus now stands. I would also like to pay respect to the Elders both past and present, acknowledging them as the traditional custodians of knowledge for this land. GenAI in our profession What we’ll talk about today • • • • GenAI in our profession Academic integrity What is GenAI Legal and ethical issues around GenAI • How you can use GenAI tools in this subject • Q and A 4 Academic integrity To maintain academic integrity: Create something original Credit others Collaborate with care I need to write a short essay for an assessment. My friends are sharing previous assessment answers on our WhatsApp group chat, and it’s hard not to look when the answers are just there. I feel anxious if I don’t use the previous assessments, I’ll lose out and not get good marks compared with my friends. Do your own work, from start to finish. Submit work that’s original for that assessment. Exams should be just you. Make sure any data or results are accurate and complete. I found an image on Google Images for the cover of an assessment. Anyone can easily access it on the internet, plus I’m not claiming I made it – I just want to make my report cover look good. I’ve got so many other things to do, so I’m not going to waste time and worry about adding a citation. Acknowledge your sources. To avoid misconduct: • Don't forget to add quotation marks to direct quotations. • Don't forget to cite the source of the information when paraphrasing. • Don't just mix the order of words to make it sound different while keeping the original idea or concept without acknowledging the source. I regularly go to the library with my housemate after class to go over general themes and concepts covered in the lecture. I don’t feel totally confident in my academic writing skills. My housemate is a lot stronger in this area. I’m going to ask them to read my assessment draft for any typos, spelling or grammar errors, plus make suggestions for improving my wording, content, structure and argument. Do group work the right way. Study together with care. Keep your assessments and study notes for you (even past ones). Get the right extra help if you need it.
