Adapting an Assignment in the Age of AI

In this workshop, we will review strategies for adapting assignments to encourage student engagement and discourage over-reliance on and misuse of Generative AI. Drawing on specific examples of assignment adaptations, we will explore a "menu" of options for adaptations. We will conclude with small group discussions during which instructors can workshop assignments they feel are no longer working due to AI misuse. We invite you to bring a specific assignment that you have concerns about to the workshop.
