GenAI Tools and Writing: Information and Guidelines for Students | Judith Anderson Herbert Writing Center
Faculty can lift a ready-made acknowledgment statement from this University of Tennessee writing center guide so students document how they used GenAI on an assignment, together with citation links for MLA, APA, and Chicago style. The guide walks through a practical checklist — keep a log of AI use, fact-check all output, use closed prompting to reduce errors, and evaluate text for gender, racial, and language bias — that instructors can hand to students or adapt into course policies. It also balances benefits against concrete risks such as hallucinations, embedded bias, and environmental cost, framing GenAI as an assistant to rather than a replacement for a student's own writing process.
