ChatGPT or other search tools are allowed for the home assignments, but such use should be mentioned. (Of course, there is no penalty for this use). I think that these tools are very useful, and you will be able to appreciate the value added of the course with respect to these instruments. In any case, taking the course is not an exercise to figure tricks to get a grade. It is your moral duty to yourself to enrich yourself intellectually.
