SHORT ANSWER

Use AI to ask better questions, clarify a confusing concept, or draft practice—but keep the source, your own attempt, and your institution's rules in view.

The key idea

Set a learning boundary before opening a tool: what are you trying to understand, what material may you use, and what work must be your own?

A practical example

Ask for a hint on a problem, try the next step yourself, and use feedback to locate the specific part of the notes you need to revisit.

Keep the result checkable

Policies differ by institution, instructor, assignment, age, and data. Ask before uploading restricted material and disclose tool use when required.
