Using AI the right way for school work

• Use the templates to organise your own thinking. Teachers and admissions readers are looking for your ideas and your voice.
• Check your school's or university's rules on AI tools before using one for graded work, and say how you used it if they ask.
• Verify every fact and quote against the original source. AI can make mistakes, especially with page numbers and citations.
• Keep your notes and drafts. They show how your work developed if anyone asks.
