We try to hold close to TCC's Academic Integrity policies and the value of education. 

As we try to respond to students' use of AI in their coursework, the WTC . . .  

• WON'T “police” students;
• WILL promote students’ best use of the tools available to learn;
• WILL work to help you unpack the “why”;
• WILL use good judgement in interpreting instructors’ rules and expectations.
