Navigating Generative AI: The Dos and Don’ts for Students

Hey there, future scholars! 📚

Generative AI, like ChatGPT, is a fantastic tool for students, but it comes with some important guidelines to ensure it’s a helpful study companion.
Here are the dos and don’ts you need to keep in mind:

Dos:

  1. Research Assistance: Use AI to generate ideas, summaries, and suggestions for your research or assignments.
  2. Learning Aid: It’s great for clarifying complex topics and practicing essay writing.
  3. Time Management: Save time on routine tasks to focus on deeper learning.

Don’ts:

  1. Plagiarize: Never copy-paste generated content. Always rephrase and give credit when using AI-generated text.
  2. Overreliance: Don’t let AI do all the work. Use it as a supplement, not a replacement for your own thinking.
  3. Verify Information: Always double-check facts and data produced by AI. AI can make mistakes, so trust but verify.

For more guidelines please refer to this site prepared by the University Library.

Remember, AI is a tool, not a magic wand. Use it wisely and responsibly, and it can be a valuable part of your educational journey. Happy studying! 📖✨

Sustainability

If you have a book or books to give away, you may drop them off at the Book Exchange Corner. You’ll never know who might benefit from your contributions. At the same time you might just pick up a good read for yourself. Let’s all share and prolong the sustainability of these books.

At the LRC, there are also old edition titles for sale at a very low price. The full list is available at the same corner.

Staying Safe

As you visit and utilize the facilities at the LRC, please stay safe by observing the recommended SOP for prevention/spreading of the Covid-19 virus.

Use the sanitizers available at the following points, before and after using the facilities:

  • Self-check machines
  • Photocopier
  • PC room
  • Counter area

Only sit at designated areas and not move furniture around. Keep your distance and always wear a mask for your own safety and the people around you.

Always remember, prevention is better than cure.


Attending Virtual Classes

If you are attending virtual classes in the LRC using your media devices (e.g. smartphone, laptop) or PCs in the LRC, please use a listening device such as headphones, earphones or earbuds. This ensures that you are not disturbing other LRC users. Also the audio is much better compared with the device speakers.

This ruling also applies to any other audio related media such as screencasts, video streaming, audio books, etc.

Always remember to be courteous and considerate of those around you.
