Description
In this presentation, a writing instructor showcases what happened when they input the prompts of a full semester’s worth of assignments from a first-year composition course into ChatGPT in order to determine how the AI’s work would score if evaluated as if it were a human student enrolled in their General Education Program First-Year Writing Course at the University of Central Florida. Can the technology pass the class when evaluated using currently existing rubrics and grading schemes? In this presentation that expands from prior work showcased at the 2023 Sunshine State Teaching and Learning Conference, the speaker provides insight as to what aspects of their pedagogy assessments have changed and what have stayed the same in the wake of the proliferation of these AI tools, along with broad questions of whether AI has any home in First-Year Writing and what that home may be.
