Evaluate: Bias
Students develop critical evaluation skills by assessing AI outputs for biases, assumptions, and stereotypes.
Evaluate: Write a Rebuttal
Students craft a detailed rebuttal to the AI-generated argument, focusing on different aspects such as the scope, conclusions, and missing evidence.
Evaluate: Logical Fallacies
Students create arguments using ChatGPT and identify any logical fallacies present in the generated content. Students provide a detailed explanation of how the identified logical fallacies occurred and suggest ways to prevent them.
Evaluate: ChatGPT’s Predictions and Extrapolations
Students generate predictions using ChatGPT and critically assess the output. The assignment emphasizes an analytical approach to evaluating hypothetical scenarios generated by ChatGPT. Students must go beyond simple fact-checking and use reasoned analysis to diagnose the plausibility of the predictions.
Evaluate: Soundness of the Argument
Students analyze how facts are assembled into an argument, focusing on the validity of the connective logic. They are encouraged to look beyond the individual facts and assess whether the conclusions drawn are logically supported by the premises.
Evaluate: Hallucinated Sources
Students verify the existence of quoted sources provided by ChatGPT, using the institution’s library website. This activity ensures that students learn to critically assess AI-generated content and confirm its authenticity.
Evaluate: Correctness
The assignment examines the inherent weaknesses of large language models (LLMs) like ChatGPT, emphasizing the importance of not relying on them unquestioningly. It highlights how these models mimic speech without true understanding and can produce convincingly false information.
