School AI policies are usually one paragraph and unclear. Build your own honor code — the rules YOU follow — so you don't accidentally cross a line.
School policies are vague. 'AI should not be used to complete assignments' could mean 'don't paste in your essay' or 'don't even check spelling.' If you wait for the policy to be clear, you'll either over-use AI and get in trouble, or under-use it and fall behind. A personal honor code is your line — written by you, for you, before the situation gets messy.
The cases that test honor codes aren't the obvious ones. They're: 'I used AI to outline, then I wrote the whole thing — do I disclose?' 'AI suggested a thesis I never would have thought of — is that mine?' 'I used Grammarly, which uses AI — does that count?' Decide these BEFORE you face them, not in the moment.
| Clear-honor use | Code-violating use |
|---|---|
| AI explains a confusing concept | AI writes the answer to a graded question |
| AI suggests revisions to your draft | AI writes the whole essay |
| You disclose AI editing | You hide all AI use |
| AI quizzes you on flashcards | AI takes the quiz for you |
| AI brainstorms 10 thesis ideas, you pick | AI generates the thesis you submit |
The big idea: write your own rules in the calm before the deadline. The honor code you decide in advance is the only one that survives the panic at midnight.
