A writing tool can suggest an outline or flag language issues, but it cannot take responsibility for the evidence or the assessment rules. Decide what is permitted before using it.
A practical starting point
Keep a record of tool use where required and verify every citation yourself. Evaluate suggestions against your argument instead of accepting fluent text as proof.
Understand the task
Writing tools can help with brainstorming or language checks, but permission depends on the course and the assessment. Read the institution’s guidance before using a tool. Where disclosure is required, keep a record of what was used and how.
Develop the reasoning
Check every factual claim and reference against a source you have actually read. Generated text can sound confident while containing mistakes or nonexistent citations. Treat a suggestion as something to evaluate, not as evidence.
Use evidence carefully
Protect confidential information and avoid uploading personal data without permission. Consider whether a tool’s use changes the work being assessed. The student remains responsible for the accuracy and authorship of the submitted argument.
Review the finished work
Use feedback to improve your own reasoning and retain drafts that show the development of the work. A claim that text is undetectable is not a substitute for following assessment rules.
Before you submit
- Check the brief and marking criteria for this task.
- Confirm the source and date of each factual claim.
- Review the argument before making the final language checks.
- Keep the final file and any submission confirmation.
