AI Acknowledgement

Universities / Monash University

Monash University AI acknowledgement

Every Monash assessment carries one of four AI statements in Moodle (no limits, guided use, must not be used, not applicable). Where AI is permitted, students must include a written acknowledgement of which tools they used, how and to what extent, keep evidence of their prompts and drafts, and cite AI output too if the assessment requires it.

Your prompts and the AI's answers
I used ChatGPT (https://chatgpt.com) to brainstorm ideas and check grammar and spelling. I modified the outputs by rewriting anything I used in my own words and checking its facts against the original sources. A full record of my prompts and the outputs is available on request.

Monash University's own wording

"I used [add AI tool (add link if needed)] to [add how used] and [add number of iterations/drafts]. I modified the outputs in [add ways]."

The rules at a glance

When you need one
In any graded assessment where AI is allowed or required (unlimited or guided use); also when AI was permitted but not used. Not needed for non-assessed activities.
Framework
Moodle AI statements: WITHOUT ANY LIMITS / GUIDED use / MUST NOT BE USED / NOT APPLICABLE (non-assessed)
Where it goes
A specific acknowledgement section within the assessment submission as set by the Chief Examiner (e.g. 'Part B: Concise summary of AI use'); may be written, screenshots or video, and may include a reflection.
Prompts and outputs
Students must record what they asked AI and how they used the responses, save prompt history, and be able to present process evidence (screenshots, prompts/outputs, drafts, colour-coded drafts) on request.
Referencing
In some assessments AI output must also be cited and referenced like any other source, using the closest source type (e.g. non-recoverable sources) via Library style guides. APA example: "OpenAI. (2023). ChatGPT (Jan 9 version) [Large language model] http://chat.openai.com/chat". MLA example: "'Was Sir John Monash a good man?' prompt. ChatGPT, 9 Jan. version, OpenAI, 24 Jan. 2023, chat.openai.com/chat".
Must include
  • AI tool(s) used
  • link/URL to the tool (especially for tools you found yourself)
  • why the tools were chosen (if self-selected)
  • what it was used for and which output was included, and where
  • prompts used and date (in the examples)
  • number of iterations/drafts with each tool
  • how the output was altered, adopted or built on
Also note
  • follow each assessment's AI statement; some tasks forbid AI at every stage including proofreading
  • using AI in a non-permitted way or failing to acknowledge it correctly breaches the Student Academic Integrity Procedure
  • verify all AI facts, quotes and sources; students are responsible for and must be able to explain their submission
  • rules can differ between assessments in the same unit
