  4. Paste the code.
  5. After pasting the code, switch back to the RCE by selecting the </> button again to view the result of your code.

Text for Overview Page

Throughout this course, you will see specific guidance for use of generative AI (GenAI) on assignments. You will see the following icons and supporting text to describe if, when, and how you may use GenAI. Please read the guidance provided on each assignment, as the information may change from assignment to assignment. Generally, though, you will see one of three levels of use, which include the following:

  • GenAI Use Is Allowed
  • GenAI Use Is Limited
  • GenAI Use Is Not Permitted

Across all levels of GenAI use, you should consider ethical implications, which include using a safe, secure, humane, transparent, and environmentally friendly approach to GenAI.

At times, you may be asked to provide attribution for any GenAI-generated material that you quote, paraphrase, or incorporate into your own work for this assignment. Please refer to these Generative AI Citation Guidelines and Penn State's Generative AI Library Guide for further guidance.

GenAI Use Is Allowed

You may responsibly use GenAI within the provided guidelines.

GenAI Use Is Limited

You may responsibly use GenAI within the provided guidelines.

GenAI Use Is Not Permitted

You may not use GenAI. This includes standalone large language models (LLMs), such as ChatGPT, Copilot, Gemini, Llama, DeepSeek, Claude, or Anthropic and software with GenAI features.
