Description
There is a new approach to Humanities-based assignments that will still teach and monitor the development of critical thinking skills in students in an AI-dominated world. Instead of grading our student's essays, we must inspect, monitor, and evaluate their chat transcripts with AI tools for evidence of critical thinking and analysis. As stated in a New Yorker article, "working with GPT is more like an instrument you must learn to play...[you have to] break down your problem into specific, abstract, un-ambiguous sub-problems that, together, will give you what you want." This approach ensures students increase AI literacy, maintain the guided development of critical thinking skills, demystify AI in the classroom, remove temptations for cheating, and assist in developing relevant skills for the future.
