Generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) tools are a type of artificial intelligence that creates content such as text, images or music. ChatGPT is an example of a GenAI tool. GenAI tools use information that is freely available online to predict patterns and structure. For text, GenAI tools statistically predict a likely sequence of words. In the case of ChatGPT, it is remarkably successful in writing seemingly credible text in response to user prompts. Remember though that ChatGPT cannot understand what it is writing and so, although the text might be grammatically correct, it is not factually checked and could be wrong. Similarly, GenAI tools can also create content in other formats such as images or musical scores. These types of GenAI tools are often used in creative applications, such as video game development, music composition, and graphic design. While GenAI has tremendous potential, it also raises concerns about the possibility of creating content that is misleading or harmful. Text created by GenAI tools can also have inherent biases or limitations because they reflect the sources which they are trained on. GenAI tools do not identify the sources used to generate content. Even if you request references to be included, these will be programmatically generated by the same predictive process as any other text. Can I use GenAI tools in my studies at SCU? PROJ5001 Project Management 3 The development of your communication and critical thinking skills are amongst the most important things you will learn from your studies at SCU. Although the use of GenAI tools may seem like they make your assessment easier, it is essential that you engage with your unit content and information you gather from beyond to develop these important skills. At SCU the use of GenAI tools is acceptable, unless it is beyond the acceptable limit as defined in the Assessment Item by the Unit Assessor. For Assessments in this PROJ6005 Project Procurement and Project Management GenAI tools are accepted for use. Consequences of Using GenAI tools when explicitly prohibited by your Unit Assessor, or without acknowledgement. Using GenAI to assist with your writing or other assessment tasks when the use of GenAI tools has been explicitly prohibited (in writing for each Assessment item), or without acknowledgment, may be considered a breach of academic integrity, and result in an academic integrity breach with penalties as described in the Student Academic and NonAcademic Misconduct Rules, Section 3. What you need to do If you do use a GenAI tool in your assessment, it is essential you acknowledge this use as part of your commitment to academic integrity at SCU. Discuss with your Unit Assessor if you are not sure about how, or how much you can use GenAI in your studies. Please also be aware of the requirement to cite Gen AI within your work.

Background The Australian Qualifications Framework (2013) summarises AQF9 (Masters) and AQF8 (Graduate Diploma) level graduates as possessing specialised skills for research and the ability to critically analyse and evaluate information. As such, a key skill for development at these levels of study is the ability to identify and evaluate research appropriate to your area of practice. Overview This assessment will require you to develop a strategic search of academic literature and to identify and briefly evaluate research relevant to a topic.
