Further information

In this course, you can use artificial intelligence to brainstorm and make sketches. In addition, artificial intelligence can be used to structure text and check spelling, but it is not allowed to replace self-made thought and answer writing work. The student must describe openly and transparently how and at what points in the work they have used AI tools. More detailed instructions on the use of artificial intelligence and citation instructions can be found on the Student's Desktop (My) Student's Guide > Instructions and rules > Use of artificial intelligence in teaching and learning activities and in thesis work
