Check it, and say how you used AI

Before you hand in work, check it, make it yours, and be honest about any AI help. Even when A I is allowed, there are three habits that keep your work accurate, and honest. Check the facts. Write it yourself. And say how you used A I. Here's why checking matters. A student asks how many states Nigeria has. The chatbot says thirty seven. That sounds sure, but it's wrong. The student checks the textbook, and asks again. The textbook was right. Nigeria has thirty six states, plus the Federal Capital Territory. The A I mixed them up.

Before you hand in work

First, check every fact in a trusted source, like your textbook, your teacher, or an official website. Second, write it in your own words. Don't copy and paste. Third, make sure you understand everything you hand in. Could you explain it to your teacher? And fourth, say how you used A I. When A I is allowed, you can add a short note at the end of your work, saying how you used it. Like this one. I used ChatGPT to explain how volcanoes form, and to quiz me. I checked the facts in my textbook. All of the writing is my own.

A good AI note says

A good A I note says which tool you used, what you asked it, how you used its answers, and what you checked. Some teachers will ask for a particular format, so follow their instructions.

Quick check

Quick check. What should an A I note include? Which tool you used, and how you used it. Options: Which tool you used, and how you used it; Your password; Your phone number; Nothing at all.

Recap

A I can be confidently wrong. Check facts in trusted sources. Write it in your own words. And say how you used A I.
