Guidelines on the Use of the Chatbot

1. Purpose and Benefits

• Support in Learning: Use chatbots or AI to enhance your understanding of topics, get instant feedback, or seek help when you’re stuck.
• Idea Generation: AI can help brainstorm ideas for projects, assignments, or essays, offering suggestions or different perspectives.
• Time Management: Chatbots can assist in creating study plans, setting reminders, and answering quick questions, saving time for more in-depth studying.

2. Appropriate Use

• Clarification Over Complete Answers: Use AI to clarify concepts or explain difficult topics rather than seeking direct answers for homework or tests.
• Double-Check Information: While AI is a powerful tool, always cross-check its information with trusted sources like textbooks, class notes, or teacher recommendations.
• Stay Active in Learning: Remember that AI is a supplement to your learning. Take time to study independently and develop your skills. Relying too much on AI might prevent you from fully understanding a subject.

3. Ethical Considerations

• Academic Integrity: Avoid using AI to complete assignments or exams dishonestly. Always follow your school’s academic policy.
• Originality: Ensure that any content you submit as your own is properly cited if AI was used to generate ideas or drafts. Do not copy AI-generated responses directly without making them your own.

4. Effective Use

• Ask Specific Questions: Be as clear as possible with your questions to get more accurate answers. Vague or overly general queries can lead to irrelevant responses.
• Request Explanations: When working on complex problems, ask the chatbot to break down solutions step by step. This will help you understand the process and not just the final answer.
• Use It to Review Work: After completing an assignment, you can ask the AI to review your work for suggestions, proofreading, or improvements in clarity.

5. Limitations

• Inaccuracy: AI may not always provide correct or updated information. It can also misunderstand your questions. Use it as a guide, not an ultimate authority.
• No Substitute for Teachers: While AI can assist with learning, it cannot replace teachers, tutors, or real human interaction. Always prioritize reaching out to teachers when in doubt.

6. Responsible Use

• Time Management: Limit your use of AI tools to when it truly enhances your study session. Over-reliance might hinder your critical thinking skills.
• Respect for Data: Be mindful of sharing personal information or sensitive data when interacting with chatbots. Ensure you understand the platform’s privacy policies.

7. Practice Critical Thinking

• Question the Output: Don’t take every response at face value. Evaluate AI’s suggestions critically and make your own informed decisions.
• Apply What You Learn: Practice by solving problems without the AI after using it to guide you through examples. This strengthens your retention and comprehension.

By using generative AI wisely, you can maximize its benefits in learning, while still developing your own problem-solving and analytical skills!
