    • It can be anything โ€“ just make sure that you are the only person in the picture so I can clearly identify you.
NoteAI Use

AI use is allowed on this and every problem set that is graded check/no check in this class. You should disclose any AI use as a matter of standard professional ethics, but you will not be evaluated on whether or not you used AI.

I encourage you, however, to use AI intelligently: use it like a teaching assistant to help you understand the material, not as a bot to automatically solve the problem set for you. Remember that you will not have access to a chatbot during in-class exams, so the problem sets are your chance to practice.
