Defying Technology: How to Encourage Authentic Student Submissions

  • Diogo Lemos Soares Cosme – Assistant Professor of Language

In the age of generative AI, students have easy access to tools that can complete assignments on their behalf, raising concerns about academic integrity and authentic learning.

We will then discuss strategies for course design that discourage AI dependency, including the use of authentic assessments, interactive assignments, and fostering deeper student engagement.
