[quote=Anonymous]My husband is a political scientist at a small LAC, he's doing in-class written pop quizzes, and 10-15 minutes at the beginning of each class where students write summaries of the reading- but since it's in class, they won't be able to just ChatGPT their answers. For him, the use of AI is infuriating. Students are getting to the point where they can't write or think critically. A big chunk of his class period is spent watching them write, instead of lecturing, so that he knows they're actually reading the texts. Each semester, he fails more and more of his students for plagiarism, because if you're using AI, you're not using your own thoughts/analysis/work. The quality of his students has dropped dramatically since Covid, and AI is just making it worse. He teaches Middle East politics and international law. Don't we want our future leaders in these areas to be able to think critically, analyze data and make informed policy decisions for our government? Saying ''well, it's new- just adapt to it, they're going to use it anyway" is a very shortsighted viewpoint.[/quote]
