Talk to your students
- Discuss the tools with your students. It is likely that students already know about ChatGPT, so it is worth having a conversation with your students about how to use this new technology responsibly. Ask your students to consider how AI technology may impact their learning and opportunities for it to enhance their writing.
- Consider adopting an AI policy in your course syllabus.
- Discuss the importance of academic integrity with your students. Help your students to understand why utilizing a language generator may be inappropriate and how to use the tools responsibly.
- Practice transparency and clarity in course assignments. If you offer clarity for your students about the expectations for an assignment and how the assignment is intended to support their learning, they will be less likely to seek unauthorized support.
- Offer academic support for your students. Students most often resort to cheating out of fear or desperation. By offering consistent opportunities for support, students are less likely to cheat and more likely to ask for help when they need it. You may want to familiarize yourself with the various campus resources that exist to support students, such as the Writing Commons, tutoring offered by the Academic Success Center, and support for student well-being offered by Kent CARES.
