GenAI and Academic Integrity

GenAI presents both challenges and opportunities, prompting us to change our classroom practice, our assessment design and even our curricula. This page draws together a number of curated resources to support staff in making the leap to a GenAI-enabled world whilst upholding our standards of academic integrity.

Case Studies

The case studies detailed below offer real-world insights into how GenAI is shaping practice here at the University of Bath.

Topics include:
  • Incorporating GenAI in assessment
  • Annotated bibliographies
  • Distance learning
  • Recommendations for practice

Professor James Davenport outlines how he has adapted assessments to promote appropriate use of GenAI. The case study contains a handy list of recommendations for GenAI-adapted assessments that are transferable to other disciplines.

Topics include:
  • How GenAI can assist learning and assessment completion
  • Reviewing and developing assessment portfolios
  • The future of assessment clinics

In March 2024, CLT held a successful assessment clinic for the Faculty of Engineering and Design, inviting staff to bring individual assessments to discuss how to develop these in the light of GenAI.

Topics include:
  • Curriculum redesign
  • Industry expectations
  • Coding and report writing

Dr Ioannis Georgilas outlines how he has incorporated GenAI into his curriculum, explicitly addressing with students the benefits and drawbacks of engaging with GenAI at different stages in their process.

Topics include:
  • The importance of context to GenAI tools
  • Equity issues around GenAI use
  • Getting off the blank page
  • Incorporating GenAI into team-based learning

In these three examples, colleagues from the University of Bath (Dr Harish Tayyer Madabushi, Kim Watts and Professor Steve Cayzer) share their brief reflections on how they’re using GenAI in the classroom.

Topics include:
  • The capabilities of ChatGPT3.5
  • ChatGPT’s performance in assessment tasks
  • GenAI’s role in promoting critical thinking
  • The relationship between linguistic form and inferential reasoning

A collection of short talks from 7 March 2023, discussing the impact of ChatGPT3.5 on various aspects of education. The speakers are from Computer Science, Health and Management.

Topics include:
  • Assessment where GenAI use is integral
  • Synthesising theory, empirical research and real-world application
  • Distance learning

Dr Simona Montagnana outlines an assessment where she asks her distance learning students to use GenAI to support the development of a first draft of their essay. They must then critique it. The second part of the assessment requires them to then apply the theoretical concepts analysed in their essays to the results of an in-class experiment and to real-world examples which they must identify.

Topics include:
  • Multi-stage assessment
  • Quantitative assessment
  • Distance learning
  • Reflective assessment

Dr Simona Montagnana outlines an assessment where students have the option to use GenAI to arrive at the solution to a quantitative problem in Economics which they must solve under timed conditions. Students are then given the opportunity to reflect on their answer, correct any errors and recoup any lost marks in a reflective video presentation.
