When using Artifical Intelligence (AI) tools such as ChatGTP, you should follow Box Hill Institute's AI Guidelines for students and your teacher's instructions. Instructions may vary for different assignments so check with your teacher if you have any doubt about what's okay. Using AI when it's not permitted and failing to reference your use of AI appropriately are both likely to be considered academic misconduct and academic penalties may apply.
