Solving the Cheating Problem and Improving Writing Skills with AI
The essay writing process can be improved using AI to provide support, feedback, and guidance to students. By developing the assignment, rubric, and prompt with AI, professors and teachers can assign writing tasks that encourage critical thinking and reflection. Students can collaborate with the AI as a writing coach, receiving feedback and suggestions that align with the grading rubric. This approach not only offers more support, practice, and feedback to students, but also provides teachers with insights into the writing process. By focusing on the process rather than just the final outcome, cheating becomes more challenging. This AI-assisted approach benefits both students and teachers by promoting better writing skills and creating a world that discourages cheating.
