The Center for Learning and Teaching has been supporting faculty to respond to the existence of generative AI, including providing resources and workshops, and inviting faculty members to share their own experiences of responding to AI in their courses. This page contains the AUC guidelines for faculty both on how to address AI in their syllabi and assessments, and academic integrity guidelines for when students use AI inappropriately.

Faculty Guidance

Plan Ahead

First Steps for your Class

Familiarize yourself with AI tools to understand their capabilities. ChatGPT, Gemini, Microsoft Copilot, and similar tools are available for free in Egypt, with some limitations.
Checkthe AI tools, crowdsourced by AUC faculty.
Watch this playlist on Practical AI for Instructors and Students.

AI Detectors

Avoid relying on flawed and biased AI detectors; foster integrity in other ways, such as oral verification, in-class work, and authentic assessments.
Check the guidelines on the use of AI and AI detectors.

Revisit Your Course

Tailor Your Strategy

Clarify on your syllabus what your policy is towards AI - Here are AUC’s sample syllabus statements which you can adapt.
If you want to disclose the students use of AI, here is a sample AI disclosure statement template.

Redesign Assessments

Discourage the use of AI by aligning assessments to real-life value, and relevance to students, and emphasizing critical and creative thinking.
Craft assessments to make them more personalized, contextual, synthetic, and tied to real-life experiences.
Explore this curated resource or request a CLT consultation.

Engage with Students about AI

Don't Ban. Discuss and Bring in

Use CLT's Talking to Your Students About AI: Tips for Faculty. Emphasize the importance of original work for students' education and careers. Clarify acceptable and unacceptable AI usage in your course to avoid confusion.
Discuss AI's role and impacts with your students during the first week and ahead of each major assessment.

Cultivate Critical AI Literacy

AUC has developed a critical AI literacy module for all new incoming freshman students. Faculty who would like to include this credential in their own courses can request access by submitting this form.
Educate students about AI to foster a critical attitude towards AI. For more on what this might include, watch this 16 minutes video by Maha Bali, or this 75 minutes video by Nicola Pallitt and Maha Bali and have students try one of the self-paced courses on prompt engineering (e.g. Vanderbilt University).
