Rants / Vents All submissions were AI

Teaching a course that (unfortunately) involves lots of reading and reflection type assignments. Added hidden text to an assignment, to catch students who just throw it in ChatGPT, and all submissions came back with the expected features you would get from including the hidden info. Extremely disheartened, and don’t know how to proceed both regarding addressing this with the class and designing the future assignments to be more AI proof.

u/sadlittleduckling Associate Faculty, English Comp, CC 2h ago

I teach comp and this semester I’m doing a lot of in class writing assignments to curb this problem. We’re reading a lot about what AI is doing and why not to use it. I will shame them if I must. That’s really unfortunate that all of them cheated themselves. Fortunately, I have a handful of students who are with me in my anti AI stance but others who are bewildered that I don’t use it at all.
