Re: Some advice please re. ChatGPT



Coincidentally those of us currently serving as departmental Academic Integrity Advisors are having a chat about this issue on our own list--not with regard to policy, but pedagogy and evaluation. Would there be interest in broadening the discussion? JDF

Subject: Some advice please re. ChatGPT
 

Hi All,



Does anyone know if some policy guidelines have been issued by SFU re. ChatGPT and academic dishonesty. Specifically, what would SFU accept as dispositive evidence that an essay had been generated using ChatGPT or similar AI software? Obviously, it will be impossible to introduce as evidence materials that have been cut and pasted without acknowledgement. 


In this vein, I recently had a chat with an engineering student (but not an SFU student!) who received an A+ on an assignment using ChatGPT. 


The software could not generate an A+ paper in Philosophy (of course not!). For the moment, I'm mostly concerned with suspicious C+ papers. 



Thanks in advance,


Sam
