An AI tool is any system that generates or transforms text, code, images or solutions (ChatGPT, Gemini, Copilot and similar tools). You may use AI to explain concepts, check your understanding with practice questions, brainstorm, improve grammar and editing, and check answers, but you must follow the rules for each graded activity.
- Problem sets: AI with disclosure
- Exams: No AI (no AI tools at any stage of the work, even if you complete exam-related work outside class)
These limits support your learning in upper level economics by ensuring you practice core reasoning and problem solving yourself while using tools appropriately for studying and revision. For any assignment that allows AI, include a brief note describing what you used, what you asked it to do, and what you changed or verified.
If you submit AI generated content, you are responsible for its accuracy and for proper citations and reasoning. Do not paste course materials such as problem sets, solutions, or readings into AI tools other than the approved ones. Misuse will be handled under your institution's academic integrity policy, rules differ across courses, and this policy may change during the term with updates shared in class or on the course site, ask the instructor or teaching team if you are unsure.
Yours is written for your course and your choices. Edit it until it sounds like you, download it as a Word file, or copy it for your LMS.

Questions
What guidance is this built on?
Every policy covers ten elements. Each one draws on published guidance from a university teaching center, linked here so you can check it yourself. Most appear as a single sentence, the way real syllabus statements read.
| 1 | Which tools count, with examples | UMD |
| 2 | Permitted and prohibited uses, per type of graded work | UCLAUTSATufts |
| 3 | Rationale tied to learning goals | UMDStanford Teaching Commons |
| 4 | Disclosure: how AI was used, not just whether | Stanford GSBUTSA |
| 5 | Students are responsible for the accuracy of AI output | UW-Madison |
| 6 | Course materials and privacy | Penn CETLI |
| 7 | Link to the academic integrity policy | UCLAPenn CETLI |
| 8 | Rules differ between courses | Columbia CTL |
| 9 | The policy may change, and how students will hear | UCLA |
| 10 | Ask the teaching team when unsure | Stanford Teaching Commons |
| + | Output note: reinforce the policy beyond the syllabus | Harvard Bok Center |
The four AI levels (No AI, Planning only, AI with disclosure, Open use) are our own wording. Further reading: the AI Assessment Scale.
What won't it do?
- It won't recommend AI detectors.
- It won't claim a no-AI rule can be verified on take-home work.
- It won't override your institution's policy; paste it in and we'll check for conflicts.
What happens to my syllabus?
Your syllabus file is deleted after we read it. We store your answers, not your document, and never share them. Full privacy policy.
