About Level 2: AI Planning

In Level 2 assignments, students are allowed to use AI tools for brainstorming, outlining, or early ideation—but not for writing or creating final work.

Students may use AI to brainstorm and outline—but not to write or generate final content.

These assignments help students practice planning, process awareness, and ethical decision-making while maintaining ownership of their final work.
