This short guide provides an overview of GenAI and a longer discussion of how assessments can be (re)designed to integrate or limit the use of GenAI by students. It includes examples from teaching practice at University College Cork.
We were both impressed and worried to witness the rapid escalation in the ability of tools like ChatGPT to conjure credible-seeming scholarly prose ex-nihilo. Rather than leaving the assessment strategy in MEEN3010 exposed to AI plagiarism, we decided to shift the focus towards a more authentic and interactive learning activity; a poster session.
During the Spring trimester of 2024, in the UCD ‘Robotics Design Project’ (EEEN10020) module with 54 first-year undergraduate engineering students, we deliberately revised the assessment strategy. We evolved a take-home assignment into a pair of supervised in-class exercises.
