  2. Video Copy of Missed Classes:

This compensates our consultants for their dedication, effort, and specialized skill set involved in crafting these lessons.

SECTION 16 - AI and Performace Enhancing Software Usage:

At Antonio Consulting Services (ACS), we recognize the value of modern technology in enhancing the learning experience. We encourage the ethical and proper use of AI and Performance Enhancing Software to augment the learning process, providing additional support and opportunities for improvement. However, it is crucial that such tools do not replace or hinder the development of essential development skills needed for success.

 

By engaging with ACS and utilizing AI or Performance Enhancing Software, users acknowledge and agree to the following guidelines and acceptable conduct:

  1. Purposeful Usage:

    • AI and Performance Enhancing Software should be used purposefully to enhance the learning experience, not as a substitute for active engagement and participation.

  2. Original Work Submission:

    • Users opting to use AI or performance enhancing software for workbook assignments must also present their original work to the consultant, showcasing all mistakes before applying any corrections.

  3. English-Only Questions:

    • When utilizing AI or autocorrection software, any questions related to the corrected work should be presented in English. This ensures effective communication and understanding.

  4. Corrected Work Submission:

    • Users are required to submit both the original and corrected versions of their work to the consultant. This enables the consultant to assess the learning process and provide targeted feedback.

  5. Seeking Clarification:

    • If there are aspects of the corrections that users do not understand, questions should be framed to allow the consultant to provide prepared answers during a meeting. This facilitates a deeper understanding of the software and provide constructive feedback and suggestions

​​

These guidelines are in place to ensure that AI and Performance Enhancing Software contribute positively to the Branding Breakthrough journey at ACS. Users are encouraged to view these tools as valuable aids rather than hindrances, promoting growth, understanding, and skill development.

 

Your cooperation in adhering to these guidelines is appreciated and ensures that the use of AI and other Performance Enhancing Software becomes a valuable tool in your branding experience.
