Assessment can often be one of the most challenging aspects of a course, and it is made all the more difficult now that AI is so readily available. How can we rethink our assessments to account for the rise of AI, while resisting punitive change and prioritizing our learning goals? One potential solution is to consider alternatives to the end-of-term paper, which students may find more authentic and creative. Our conversation will begin with insights from Catherine Panter-Brick, the Bruce A. and Davi-Ellen Chabner Professor of Anthropology, Health, and Global Affairs, and Thomas Harris, Professor in the Practice Yale Film and Media Studies & African American Studies. They will share their own thoughts and pedagogical practices and then invite others into the conversation. Participants are encouraged to come ready to contribute their own questions, challenges, and variations on practices related to alternative forms of assessment. Lunch will be provided. We are committed to hosting inclusive and accessible events that allow all participants to fully engage. Please contact us at faculty.teaching@yale.edu if there are ways we can support accommodations, be aware of any dietary restrictions, or for questions about inclusion.
