Academic Integrity
How to use Genesis ethically and stay on the right side of your university.
Genesis helps you understand. It doesn't write for you.
Every tool is designed to build your own knowledge and skills. The goal is that when you sit your exam or submit your assignment, the work reflects what you actually know.
These uses are fine
Using Understanding Checker to identify gaps in your notes before an exam
Using YouTube Summary to get an overview before watching the full lecture
Using Flashcard Generator to memorise key terms and definitions
Using Assessment Decoder to understand what a question is asking
Using Concept Explainer to help understand something you found confusing
Using Study Path to plan a revision schedule around your deadline
Using Email Writer to draft a professional email to your tutor
Using Submission Checklist before submitting your own work
Do not do these things
Submitting a YouTube Summary as your own essay or notes
Passing off AI-generated explanations as your own analysis in an assignment
Copying flashcard content directly into an exam answer without understanding it
Using AI to complete any part of a graded assessment without disclosure
Misrepresenting AI-generated work as your original thinking
Check your university's AI policy
AI policies vary significantly between universities, faculties, and even individual units. Some allow AI for brainstorming but not drafting. Some require disclosure. Some prohibit it entirely. Always check the specific rules for each assessment.
The simple test
Before using any AI output in or near your assessment, ask yourself: "If my lecturer asked me to explain this in person, could I?"
If yes — you've used AI to learn, which is the whole point. If no — you're relying on AI to do your thinking, which defeats the purpose of your education and puts you at risk of academic misconduct.
