Remember to check the assessment brief, learning outcomes, and the marking criteria of assignments before using AI – these tools should enhance your learning, not replace it. For guidance on which tools or tasks you are allowed to use for your assignments always check with your module leader or tutor first.

 

The assessment process can feel time-consuming and confusing - which makes the temptation to cut corners much more appealing. Artificial intelligence can be a really powerful tool in your arsenal and learning how to use it efficiently can enhance your creativity, ease up the manual and laborious parts of your assignments, and give you a second set of eyes to sanity check the work you've done, but you also need to make sure that using it doesn't compromise your academic integrity.

In this section we will focus on using AI for assignments - you can also find help for research and personal study in the upcoming sections. Find below the details for live workshops on using AI in assignments. Further down you can explore or download the slides for the workshop as well as test your skills with practical exercises.
