Short, practical guidance you can use today.
- 1
Check the claims
Look for sources behind facts and statistics. AI tools can state false information confidently, and can even invent citations that don't exist.
- 2
Look at the process
Drafts, version history, and asking a student to explain their work in their own words say far more than the finished text does.
- 3
Be careful with AI detectors
Detection tools are unreliable and can wrongly flag honest writers, including students who write in a second language. Treat a result as a question, never a verdict.
- 4
Set clear expectations
Students do better when a class states exactly when AI use is allowed, how to disclose it, and why the learning process matters.
