Assessment by defense
Can you explain the reasoning in the work you submitted?
Two of these three students used AI, and you cannot tell which from the text — Grasp asks them about it instead.
Grasp never sees who wrote the work or how. It judges the answer, not the author; an AI-assisted student who understands scores exactly like one who wrote by hand.
AI policy
You may use AI tools freely on this assignment. ChatGPT, Codex, anything. There is no penalty and you do not need to disclose it.
You will, however, be asked to defend what you submit. The defense is the assessment — not the document. Turn in work you can stand behind.
The assignment
