Designing Writing Assignments in the Age of Generative AI
Nathaniel Myers, an associate teaching professor in Notre Dame’s University Writing Program, discusses the impact of generative AI on student writing and offers strategies for designing assignments that promote authentic learning and discourage misuse of tools like ChatGPT and Google Gemini. He emphasizes the importance of focusing on the writing process, allowing student choice, incorporating formative assessment, and critically engaging with AI-generated content. By pairing AI and human feedback and encouraging critical evaluation, educators can help students navigate the use of AI in writing while maintaining academic integrity.
