Teaching Writing Across the Curriculum with AI
Writing Across the Curriculum Assignments, Classroom Activities, and Educational Resources for Higher Education
The assignment introduces an “AI Standards of Conduct” framework that differentiates between AI-assisted and AI-generated writing. The assignment encourages students to reflect on the ethical implications of using AI in writing.
Students reflect on their personal histories and preferences by participating in an interactive survey. These responses are then analyzed using text generation models to explore how AI interprets and predicts social identities, highlighting the biases and assumptions inherent in AI technology.
Students use accessible language models to generate parts of their term papers. This hands-on experiment helps students explore the capabilities and limitations of AI in writing, as well as the ethical dimensions of using such tools.
Students select and read medical journal articles, draft summaries, and revise them, allowing for progressive skill development. The assignment incorporates the use of AI writing systems throughout the process.
Students research various text analysis and summarization tools, allowing them to critically evaluate the effectiveness and accuracy of these technologies in summarizing technical documents.
