AI tools can be used to:
Generate practice quizzes or flashcards to help you prepare for exams
Create study guides
Quickly summarize a new subject or topic
Transcribe and summarize a recorded lecture
Evaluate mathematical problems, lines of computer code and complex formulas
Brainstorm ways to start a new project
Inspire you to ask questions you might not otherwise consider
AI should NOT be used to:
Cut corners and avoid reading and writing
Edit and improve your assessments
Produce assessed content that is not your own, or not properly cited and referenced
You can begin to feel more comfortable with these new and emerging AI tools if you are routinely asking yourself:
Why am I using this particular tool?
Am I using this tool to help me think, or to think for me?
Am I using this tool to produce content and passing it off as my own work?
If I use this tool as a research aid, am I accurately citing the primary sources?
**While AI can be used as a study tool, it is important to use caution; make sure you are aware of the consequences of misuse of generative AI in your studies and ask your instructors or a Librarian if you are unsure.
