What you will be able to do
- Check the actual rules
- Keep the original response
- Separate feedback from authorship
Check the actual rules
Institutional and assessment policies differ. Do not infer permission from the existence of a tool.
Keep the original response
A baseline helps demonstrate your independent work and understand what support changed.
Separate feedback from authorship
A comment can inform your revision without supplying a replacement response. Generated text cannot establish your unaided writing ability.
Document support where required
Follow the relevant disclosure requirements. This article does not provide a universal academic-integrity policy.
Work through an original example
A learner wants diagnostic feedback on their own practice essay, not a generated submission.
They keep the original, review suggestions and rewrite independently under the rules applicable to that setting.
Practice commentary
Why this version works
Answer: The process preserves learning evidence and avoids misrepresenting authorship.
Practise, check and try a changed task
Write down which support is permitted for your actual task before using a tool.
Keep a revision note explaining changes in your own words.
- Check the meaning against the original task, rather than rewarding impressive wording alone.
- Keep one concrete observation and one next action; avoid treating a single attempt as a complete assessment.
Continue with focused practice
Use the original task and your own draft when reviewing a report. Verify data, meaning and any suggested correction before revising. Check current access requirements and use fictional material rather than sensitive personal information.
Guided communication practice
Would focused feedback help your next attempt?
Use the original task and your own draft when reviewing a report. Verify data, meaning and any suggested correction before revising. Check current access requirements and use fictional material rather than sensitive personal information.
Useful answers
Frequently asked questions
Is AI use permitted everywhere?
No. Check the specific institution and task rules.
Does completing this exercise certify proficiency?
No. This is independent educational practice, not an official examination or validated proficiency judgement.
Should I accept automated feedback without checking?
No. Compare feedback with the original task and your response. Seek qualified guidance where a suggestion remains unclear.
How should I check transfer?
Try fresh material with the same skill demand. A memorised repeat can improve without demonstrating flexible use.
