Assessment, Grading, and AI

No one wants to grade AI-generated text, and students do not want to outsource their learning to AI. How do we return to our assessments—essays, group projects, presentations, reading responses and beyond—in light of AI? This workshop is premised on the belief that unpermitted AI use will be less appealing and accessible when assessments align with learning goals and when we are explicit about the methods and habits of mind we hope to instill. Literacy around generative AI can even help us surface these goals. We will discuss strategies for avoiding AI slop, and for encouraging agency and responsibility in the classroom. We will also explore how to direct and assess intentional AI use. . We are committed to hosting inclusive and accessible events that allow all participants to fully engage. Please contact us (faculty.teaching@yale.edu) if there are ways we can support accommodations or for questions about inclusion.
