WHAT MAY BE PERMITTED
Structuring your own argument Checking grammar Explaining a concept you then write about yourself
CHECK YOUR INSTITUTION'S RULES
They vary and they are changing. Find out in writing.
WHAT IS SAFE AND USEFUL
"Here is my argument. What are the weaknesses? What have I not addressed?"
That improves your thinking without producing your text.
"What questions would a marker ask about this?"
FOR STRUCTURE
"Here is my outline. Does the argument follow logically?"
FOR SOURCES
Never accept a citation from a model. They are frequently invented.
Find real sources. Read them. Cite what you read.
ON DETECTION
Detection tools are unreliable in both directions.
That is not a reason to risk it. Institutions act on other evidence too.
THE HONEST POSITION
Write it yourself. Use AI to test your thinking.
