Emphasizing Process Over Product in Student Writing

Abstract

A personal reflection on teaching the humanities in the era of generative AI, this piece offers several concrete suggestions for tactics and assignment strategies that will discourage inappropriate AI usage as well as render it detectable before grading. More important, however, and more pedagogically significant, is the fact that these strategies can be implemented in ways that arm students with understanding about the limits of current AI technology so that they are more likely to make wiser choices.
