Frequently asked questions
Can this be used directly?
Use it as a high-quality starting draft, then adapt examples, policy language, and activity design to the course, discipline, audience, and institution.
What should never be delegated to AI?
Final academic judgment, grading decisions, ethical approval, interpretation of evidence, authorship claims, and institutional policy approval should remain human responsibilities.
How should this page be reviewed before publication?
Check factual accuracy, local relevance, internal links, disclosure guidance, and whether examples reflect real academic practice.
