For students unable to visit the Writing & Reading Center in person, the WRC also has a thriving online Moodle Space! In addition to being packed with helpful resources for writing, reading, and research, students can also learn more about our consultants, connect with us virtually via Zoom, and access our WRC Request Form to schedule appointments and upload assignments for feedback. Although this space is in no way meant to replace actual, face-to-face dialogue regarding your reading and writing needs, we hope it can provide a helpful alternative.

Mid’s Writing and Reading Center recognizes that artificial intelligence (AI) has become a valuable educational tool and that some instructors may have more flexible guidelines for its use. However, our goal is to help students hone their individual voices and claim ownership of their writing, and providing feedback on AI-generated text defeats that purpose.
Important Tip! Even when an instructor may fully or partially permit AI use, it is still considered a source, so its use must be disclosed. A source is a place outside of oneself from which information or ideas have been gathered. Failing to acknowledge or credit sources properly can result in charges of plagiarism and academic dishonesty, which may carry serious consequences, such as the automatic failure of an assignment or course. This is true for the uncredited use of traditional sources such as books and articles, as well as emerging technologies like artificial intelligence.
Mid's Writing & Reading Center AI Policy
The use of generative AI tools, such as ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude, Microsoft Copilot, Grammarly Paraphrase, or similar AI writing and coding assistants, is strictly prohibited in any coursework being submitted to the WRC. Relying on these technologies undermines the learning, critical thinking, and skill development that the WRC aims to foster. If you are unsure whether a technology you have used for assistance may violate this policy, please consult the WRC before submitting your work. Students suspected of submitting coursework in violation of this policy will be contacted to explain why, reminded of this policy, and encouraged to submit their own work.
