The Department of Recreation Studies recognizes the presence of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Large Language Models (LLMs), such as ChatGPT, in both academic and professional settings. Students who use AI/LLMs need to be aware of the ethical implications of using such tools (ie. Academic Integrity and plagiarism), as well as the shortcomings of such tools (ie. False or incorrect information, and non-existent sources).

Students who use AI/LLMs are expected to understand how to use these tools responsibly and ethically. The use and application of AI and LLMs in coursework/assignments will be dependent on the instructor teaching the course. Your instructor will provide more information about the use of AI/LLM that is specific to this course.
