Recommended apps for taking notes. A student requests advice on what app will work seamlessly on a computer and tablet. Most students respond with Microsoft OneNote, which is accessible to Windows laptops, iPads, iPhones, Samsung phones, and Samsung tablets. A student, on occasion, uses multiple devices simultaneously for the same note. Another student uses the AU cloud account to save the files. The Remnotes app is also recommended.

Reddit:

AI for Comp Sci? A student asks if using ChatGPT for COMP courses is OK, citing GPT-Zero. Other students suggest that AI may be OK if there is no violation of academic integrity, including plagiarism, cheating, or generating papers. A student indicates that the AU Provost believed that AI is a tool, not the author. The students say using AI to produce the assignments may fail, primarily if the marker uses a program to detect AI plagiarism.
