GAiIT: When Students Cross the Line
[No Ai Use Allowed]
It will happen...
Not many, but a few students will always test the limits reasons of their own.
The GAiIT team spoke length about the motivations for why people would disregard assignment expectations. The more commonly noted reasons why people would use Ai included:
A lack of clarity for the expectations of the use of Ai
A lack of time management leads to use of Ai doing the work
A lack of subject investment leads to Ai doing the work
A lack of subject knowledge leads to Ai doing the work
A lack of belief that the instructor will read their work
What to look for at GAiIT Level 5
Identifying Ai intervention at this time in it's development is less challenging than it will be in 8-12 months. For the time being, the following list can provide tell-tale evidence of Ai involvement.
- Mechanical and impersonal opening statements
- The over use of bullet points
- Listing of content in paragraph form
- Speaking in third person when the object of the lesson is to have a first person reflection
- Overly mechanical and formal writing free of linguistic euphemisms used by native speaker'
- The use of the phrase, "In conclusion,"
- Perfect grammar and an under use of "this", "that", and "it" pronouns. (In posts, students write like they talk and have a tendency to leave out direct objects nouns in favor for pronouns.)
