The best response to AI in education is redesigning assessments so AI assistance becomes less relevant or actually required.
Assessment Strategies That Work
- In-class components: Oral exams, in-class writing, presentations
- Personal reflection: Assignments requiring specific personal experiences
- Process portfolios: Submit drafts, revisions, and process notes — not just final product
- Local knowledge: Questions about class discussions, specific examples from lectures
- AI-augmented tasks: Require AI use and critique — "Use AI to draft X, then analyze its weaknesses"
Shift the Question
From "Did the student write this?" to "Does the student understand this?"
