Required deliverable: A 10 minute meeting with the instructor

  • The goal of the meeting is is to clear the appropriateness and completeness of the Audit Plan Appendix in advance of the final presentation submission.
  • The meeting is pass/fail and cover the assessment of the presentation of the Audit component of the Common Final Project without Teams feeling the need to present this appendix in their final presentations.

  • The Audit Plan Appendix should be in a completed draft format, all of the discussion and planning material, including visuals, should be completed.
  • The appendix does not have to be in the final format used in the Common Project submission, instead a draft format is sufficient.
  • Teams can meet either during the class time on Dec. 2nd or at another time that works for the team and instructor.
  • The meeting will focus on teams providing a discussion of their audit plan for the chosen companies in a semi-formal setting, slides, however, are not necessary for this component of the project.

Generative AI Policy

This policy outlines expectations for the responsible and ethical use of generative AI technologies, including large language models (LLMs) such as ChatGPT, in this course. These tools can significantly enhance learning, productivity, and creativity–but must be used transparently and professionally to support a respectful and effective learning environment.

Permitted Use:

Generative AI may be used to assist with idea generation, research, document drafting, programming, editing, and other academic work, provided the output is critically reviewed, refined, and understood by the student or team. Use of AI is encouraged when it enhances the learning process.

Student Responsibility:

Students are responsible for the accuracy, relevance, and integrity of any work submitted, including content influenced or generated by AI tools. Errors introduced by generative AI–factual, analytical, or interpretive–will be treated as student errors and may result in reduced grades.

Disclosure & Ethics:

Students may be asked to disclose when and how they used generative AI tools in individual or team assignments. In cases where the use of AI significantly contributes to the submission (e.g., coding assistance, text drafting), students should include a brief statement describing the use.

Unacceptable Use:

Submitting AI–generated content without understanding it, using AI to bypass individual learning (e.g., for comprehension–based quizzes or in–class polls), or allowing AI to make up sources or misrepresent work is a violation of course expectations and academic integrity.

This policy may be updated as the role of AI in education continues to evolve.
