Kumasi, Feb.24, GNA – Law students have been advised to be prudent in the use of artificial intelligence (AI) generated solutions for their assignments.
“In this era of artificial intelligence, some students entirely resort to AI generated solutions when given assignments.
“Assuming you can get through with that at the faculty level, which is not so likely, as we will fish you out by our hard-working lecturers, the law school entrance examination may expose such lazy students.
“The robust entrance examination is such that the indolent students may not get through to enter the law school,” Dr. Chris Adomako-Kwakye, Acting Dean of the Faculty of Law, at the Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology (KNUST) cautioned.
Addressing the fourth LLB Induction and Awards ceremony organised for new Bachelor of Laws (LLB) students of the Faculty of Law at KNUST, he emphasized the need for students not to procrastinate to make the study of law easier “by starting to read now.”
Dr Adomako-Kwakye said the realization of academic successes depended on students’ personal inputs adding that “as law students, hard work is not an option but a necessary element for your academic success.”
He admitted that the study of law required more dedication and hard work because of the volumes of materials students would be dealing with.
To this end, he entreated inductees to work hard and build a dedicated life with emphasis on their studies throughout their academic journey.
Professor Mrs Rita Akosua Dickson, Vice-Chancellor of KNUST, indicated that the University envisioned to provide high caliber graduates with knowledge and expertise to support the industrial and socio-economic development of Ghana, Africa, and the world.
She pledged that the KNUST was dedicated to ensuring a safe environment for academic excellence and total development as global professionals with the requisite knowledge to serve humanity.
Prof Dickson was optimistic students would excel in their legal education once they applied themselves well to the instructions and guidance.
The Vice-Chancellor reminded inductees that the study of law just like any other profession required personal discipline; staying focused on their studies and keeping to personal as well as institution rules for success and excellence.
Her Ladyship Justice Mrs Hannah Taylor, a Supervising High Court Judge, administered the induction oath.
The occasion was also used to award continuing students for distinguishing themselves in subject areas.
