Warm-up

What’s your overall view or philosophy around new technologies and tech tools? Eg., are you an ‘early adopter’ or prefer to wait until the bugs are worked out? Are you excited for our new robot overlords or are you a humanist through and through?

Review AI Guidelines 

Students shall:

• Learn how to use AI text generators and other AI-based assistive resources (AI tools) to enhance rather than damage their developing abilities as writers, coders, communicators, and thinkers.
• Give credit to AI tools whenever used, even if only to generate ideas rather than usable text or illustrations.
• When using AI tools on assignments, add an appendix showing (a) a description of precisely which AI tools were used (e.g. ChatGPT, Grammarly, etc.), (b) an explanation of how the AI tools were used (e.g. to generate ideas)
• Employ AI detection tools and originality checks prior to submission, ensuring that their submitted work is not mistakenly flagged.
• Use AI tools wisely and intelligently, aiming to deepen understanding of subject matter and to support learning.

The instructor shall:

• Ensure fair grading for both those who do and do not use AI tools.
• Treat work by students who declare no use of AI tools as the baseline for grading.
• Employ tools and strategies to evaluate the degree to which AI tools have likely been employed.
• Impose a significant penalty for low-energy or unreflective reuse of material generated by AI tools and assigning zero points for merely reproducing the output from AI tools.
• Employ AI tools responsibly and transparently in the performance of their teaching responsibilities
