Anders, B. [Suggestions via Twitter.]
Have students create questions dealing with a class topic & post the question to ChatGPT. Have the students use predefined criteria to evaluate AI responses. Incorporate critical thinking, ethical considerations, methods (language model used/data sources) & prompt skill development.
Anders also suggests that “student do part of the writing process in class.”
Cannity, D. (2022, December 28). From email to INSTECH discussion list on Chat GPT. (Used with permission- Condensed by Ilene Frank). Suggestions for dealing with ChatGPT:
Use assignments that are very specific or unique - and recent. Chat GPT’s data is about a year old. (As of December 2022).
Ask questions that ChatGPT can’t discuss. It is programmed (for now) to avoid controversial topics.
Focus on process questions: “Which applies better and why” or “explain the statement and why you think it means that” or which solution to a problem is more appropriate and why.”
Engage students in activities that bots can’t experience and consider application essays “What I learned by doing X”.
Scaffold work so that written papers are only a component of the final assessment.
Involve ChatGPT: Ask students to generate a paper and use their knowledge about the topic to correct it – including identifying and correcting misinformation, including citations.
As a fun test, I also gave the prompt "What should instructors do to prevent cheating using ChatGPT?" to ChatGPT, and this is the response it gave:
“ChatGPT is a chatbot that uses natural language processing (NLP) to generate responses based on a given prompt. It could potentially be used to cheat on exams or assignments by generating answers to questions. Here are some strategies that instructors can use to prevent cheating using ChatGPT or other similar tools:
1. Make it clear that cheating, including the use of chatbots or other AI tools, is not acceptable and will result in consequences.
2. Use a variety of assessments, such as open-book exams, take-home exams, or oral exams, to make it more difficult for students to cheat.
3. Use plagiarism detection software, such as Turnitin, to detect copied work and ensure that students are submitting their own original work.
4. Monitor students closely during exams to ensure that they are not using ChatGPT or other technologies to cheat.
5. Consider using proctored exams, in which a proctor monitors students during the exam to prevent cheating.
6. Educate students about the consequences of cheating and the importance of academic integrity.
