Which AI-enhanced tools are Chapman instructors using?

Where can I go if I have questions about AI?
📄 Start with the syllabus.
It is important to read the syllabus for each of your courses to learn the policy on the use of AI. Some of your instructors may require you to use AI tools for assignments, as these tools can enhance your learning experience. However, others may ask you to refrain from using AI, depending on the course learning objectives. Reading the syllabus and having good communication with your instructor are keys to success.
