Artifice and Intelligence: Designing Writing Assignments in the Age of AI Erin Harte |
|
New Generative AI models offer challenges to writing instruction. While AI poses obvious challenges to academic integrity, confronting plagiarism and learning new digital tools are not new to the classroom. This workshop considers specific strategies and best practices for engaging students in the writing process, combating plagiarism, mitigating student use of AI tools when they're not appropriate, and incorporating generative AI into the writing process. Participants are encouraged to bring a writing assignment to workshop! |

Get 'Em to Graduate (aka "a multifaceted approach to getting first-year students on the support train they need; destination: graduation") Leah Palazzo and Lindsay Green-Gavrielidis
|
|
Three-pronged approach to student success based on interventions facilitated by Lindsay (Biology) & Leah (ACE): 1) Getting students "on the train" (destination graduation) via multiple access points; 2) Using data and activities in interventions; and 3) A foray into alternative grading. Each of the segments will be punctuated by attendees applying the information to their own teaching (e.g., we will talk about contract grading, then lead an activity helping faculty create a grading contract). |

Extreme Workshopping Patrick Armstrong |
| We'll discuss how to workshop student papers in class, and also how to grade student papers in class. You'll learn why this process is effective, and we'll discuss details about the process itself (including the use of rubrics, FERPA laws, etc.). I will argue that extreme workshopping is the most effective method for teaching writing. |
