Required deliverable: As part of professionalism is determined via deliverables relating to software deliverables, pollEverywhere engagement, written responses to cases, and verbal communication in class, this section provides details on what is collected and how to be successful in this component of the course.

  • Several cases during the quarter will require the uploading of a UIPath bot answered as part of the case. These software deliverables are graded on both accuracy and effort. What is required for submission will be made clear in each class a submission is requested, if unsure ask your instructor.
  • Poll Everywhere is an App used for classroom engagement. Poll Everywhere questions displayed on class slides can be answered using your mobile device or laptop.
  • It is possible that a selected case or cases (typically those in the latter half of the class) will require a written response. The written responses are brief and should be less than one-page total in length unless otherwise communicated, they will also often include a screenshot of the tool being used in class.
  • Verbal engagement is based on student responsiveness to in class questions. These questions are typically unstructured and/or open ended and will often be discussed first in pairs/small groups before being discussed as a class.

  • If you have any questions about professionalism, ask your instructor
  • In general, being engaged with the material is the best approach to succeed on every dimension of professionalism.
  • Professionalism is synergistic with all aspects of the course, for example, each case introduces new topics and skills and reinforces and extends existing knowledge and skills, the higher the level of engagement with this material, the more likely you will succeed on all aspects of the course, including professionalism.

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.
