Seminar. There are situations and contexts within this course where you will be encouraged to use AI tools to explore how they can be used. This will only be done on a voluntary basis. Outside of those circumstances, you are asked not to use AI tools to generate content (text, images) that will end up in any student work (assignments, activities etc) that is part of your evaluation in this course. When practising your language skills, it is ok to use AI to support your language development. Remember it is not ok, however, to use AI to think for us or to do the hard work of figuring out how to express our ideas in our writing. As with all sources that are used in writing, your own words and thoughts should provide the bulk of your writing. Any student work submitted using AI tools should clearly indicate what work is the student’s work, what part is generated by the AI, which prompts have been used and how you worked with the generated content. In such cases, no more than 25% of the student work should be generated by AI. Academically honest use of Gen AI includes providing a full transcript of any Gen AI generated content between you and the Gen AI as part of your working document using the correct citing format. As far as teachers’ work with AI is concerned, any use of artificial intelligence tools will be carried out in a way that protects students' personal data. Student work will not be used to train AI models. More information about AI use can be found in the guidelines set by FSV UK and ethical recommendations provided by Charles University Last update: FALTYNOVA (26.09.2025)
