<br>Integrating Ethical Guidelines for Generative AI:
<br>Generative AI tools are to be used only for editing and revising documents. 
<br>Original ideas and content must come directly from students, not AI tools. Failure 
<br>to comply with this rule will result in the assignment being graded as zero.
