AI Resources

UVA Wise requires a clear AI policy in your classes that makes every attempt to clarify precisely where AI can and cannot be used in your assignments. Sample policies are linked below.

No AI checker is a smoking gun, and charges of plagiarism with AI are nearly impossible to prove. When in doubt, CEEI suggests inviting the student into your office to talk privately about their work and how it was produced. Many students are unaware that Grammarly and other grammar checker sites are now AI-driven and may not be ethical in some uses. This can be a great teaching moment for them and you.

MLA and CCCC recommend the use of drafts as the single best preventative measure to avoid AI plagiarism in writing, as you can easily track the organic evolution of an assignment. 

Be aware that since AI can't easily be proven, charges can create a hostile environment over unprovable accusations, so tread carefully and check with your Chair before making any accusations. When you need to do so, try to be calm and respectful to students and have these conversations privately, as you should when addressing any class concern. 

Feel free to contact Emily Dotson at ead2y@uvawise.edu if you have any questions.
