Teaching in the Age of AI: How Students Can Do All Their Writing in the Classroom

To counter the threat AI poses to independent thinking and writing, English professor Jim Seitz requires his students to do all their writing in class, including 3-5-page essays. In this workshop, he will share the methods he developed to enhance in-class writing, which students have responded to enthusiastically. Participants will then create their own approaches to student writing that account for the availability of AI. Seitz will also facilitate discussion of how faculty across disciplines might establish a realm of the curriculum in which students work free of AI.
