Using AI-tools in student papers
You are allowed to use AI-tools as an aid when writing student papers. All use of AI-tools must be referred to in the assignment. Students refer to AI-tools both in the text and in the reference list. Read more about citations on this website (link).
You as a student are responsible for assessing how eventual AI-tools are used in your student paper. Make sure that your student paper contains enough critical reflection. Be thorough when referring to AI-tools and use them only as support material.
Student papers are independent written assignments. All are assessed on the same assessment criteria. This is regardless of whether or not you use AI tools as support material.
Keep in mind that language models such as ChatGPT cannot be cited for facts. Use original sources.

AI-declaration
Students enrolled in courses with these guidelines are asked to upload an AI-declaration that describes how eventual AI-tools have been used in student papers. The declaration is uploaded in addition to your paper/attachments in Inspera. You can find the declaration form in the question set where you hand in your student paper. You can also download the AI-declaration form here (link).
The purpose of declaration form is to explain how you used eventual AI-tools when writing your paper. This helps your graders assess your paper from a methodological perspective. The student's methodological approach is an important part of assessing the assignment.
All use of AI in student papers must be citied both in the text and in the reference list. This is regardless of whether you upload an AI-declaration along with your paper or not.

Information for graders
Certain faculties have adopted guidelines for the use of AI tools in student papers. Check with your department or faculty if this applies to the courses you are grading.
If this is the case in your course, the students will be asked to hand in an AI-Declaration form where they explain how they used AI-tools in their thesis. The AI-declaration form is uploaded as a separate file upload in Inspera Assessment.
A declaration form where students explain how they used AI in their thesis cannot in and of itself be included in the determination of grades. The purpose of the AI-declaration form is to help graders assess the use of AI in the thesis from a methodological approach.
Most students will submit an AI-declaration form when handing in their thesis, but keep in mind that NTNU has no authority to reject an assignment that lacks an AI-declaration form. This means that all students must be graded, regardless of whether they submit a AI-declaration form or not.
