In this course (XXXXXX), you can use AI to brainstorm and create drafts. Additionally, AI can be utilized for structuring text and checking language, but it is not allowed to replace the actual thought and writing work done by the student. The student must describe openly and transparently how and where they have used AI tools in their work. Detailed instructions on the use of AI and citation guidelines can be found on the Student's Desk (Oma) under Student Guide > Instructions and Rules > Use of AI in Teaching and Learning Activities and Theses.
