How are colleges adapting to the era of AI-Produced Essays?
I was wondering that as AI technology gains popularity this year, how might colleges change their application process to stop AI-written essays?
Lots of schools are using AI detection software, however I think this is because ChatGPT has really only been huge for an academic year so course policies are already set in stone.
Going forward a lot more grading emphasis on in-class quizzes and assignments. Most classes already weight the final for 20-30 percent of the grade and I've seen some profs who assign essay finals instead assign in-class writing finals.
One student I talked to said her professor made them use word and share editing history.
I am a lecturer. It makes me smile that we are hounding students on one hand and on the other hand typing, "create a lesson for me".
More writing assignments inside the classroom where gadgets are not allowed. Less take away, home essays. As someone else has pointed out, you could already hire someone to write an essay for you long before AI assistance was available.
Put simply universities are utilizing AI detection services for applications and assignments.
Did they ever do anything to adapt to the "essay coach" produced essays?
