I want them getting practice on these things that are going to be part of their future careers and lives. I love that my classroom is a stage for that.

I think AI detection has a place, but its place is limited. I don’t think it should ever be the sole reason a student is getting honor coded.
-Christopher Ostro

I love to tell my students if all you’re doing with these tools is taking the output and submitting as your own work, you don’t have a job.
-Christopher Ostro
