GIs, TAs, and graders are often the first to see evidence of genAI misuse in students’ writing, particularly in large introductory courses. But with supervising faculty typically setting AI policy and taking the lead on enforcement, GIs and TAs can feel caught in the middle, with lots of knowledge but unclear authority. This workshop will consider how TAs and GIs can work effectively with faculty to communicate and enforce AI policies:
- What clarifying questions might you ask faculty members to ensure their AI policy is clear and enforceable?
- How can you explain and motivate students to follow an instructor’s AI policy?
- How can you spot—and substantiate suspicions of—AI misuse? How do GIs and TAs work with faculty to report suspected academic dishonesty?
This casual workshop will provide lots of space for discussion and troubleshooting. You’ll leave with practical strategies to apply in your current teaching and when designing your own courses in the future.
Facilitated by Jessa Wood (Assistant Director, Writing Across the Curriculum).
