Section outline

    • This session will cover Academic Integrity, Plagiarism, and Generative AI within Psychology at QMUL. The session will give you key guidance and insights on how to navigate appropriate use of various resources and references throughout your studies and assignments.
      This session will be taught by the excellent academic skills advisors from the QMUL library, Chenée Psaros and Rosella D’Alesio.

    • Please review our Psychology Department policy for using generative AI programs (i.e., chatGPT). This policy reviews what you can- and cannot  use generative AI for in your course, and reviews the consequences for inappropriate use. Key takeaway points include: 

      1. GenAI is not a valid scientific source of information: you must find original, validated, scientific information to support your coursework. 

      2. You must cite GenAI when you use it, and include a copy of the full-text response when you use GenAI (this will not count towards wordcount of coursework).

      3. You should not copy large pieces of text from any source, including GenAI (even if you cite it). You should rephrase in your own words and include a citation (although note point 1: genAI is not a valid source of scientific information).  

      Please review the policy and ask on the Psychology Module Forum if you have any questions. 

      Please note: this policy is subject to change, as this is a fast-moving field.
