1. A TA proposes uploading all student essays to a free AI tool to produce first-pass comments. What is the main concern?
Essays are usually too long for free tools to read in fullComments from software may be too lenient to be useful to studentsStudent work and identities go to a tool that may be unapproved or may store themThe TA would be doing work that belongs to the instructor
2. Which redesign best makes student thinking visible?
More multiple-choice questions with timed online deliveryA longer take-home essay with a stricter word limitA ban on AI tools announced on the first day of classDrafts with reflection plus a short oral check-in
3. An AI-written reading list includes a book you cannot find. What now?
Keep it on the list with a note that it may be hard to findAssign it anyway, since students can look for it themselvesAsk the AI to give the publisher and year to confirm itCheck library catalogs and drop anything unverified
4. Why is a detector score weak evidence?
They give a score for every paper, but cannot read long essaysDetectors can be wrong and may be biased against some writersTheir scores measure plagiarism, not AI use, so they are mislabeledTheir scores are private to the vendor, so you cannot cite them
5. A student in a second language writes very fluently after using translation help. What is wise?
Check your syllabus rules and talk with the studentIgnore it, since translation help is never covered by rulesReport suspected misconduct because the writing changed quicklyLower the grade until the student explains the change
6. Which task stays with the instructor?
Deciding mastery and handling integrity casesDrafting practice questions for a weekly quizWriting email templates for common student requestsFormatting a syllabus with the dates and policies
7. What belongs in an AI-use syllabus statement?
A line saying that AI use is up to each student and is not your concernOnly a ban on AI, with the penalties listed clearlyA promise that you will detect all AI use in every piece of student workWhat is allowed, what is not, examples, and how to disclose use
8. How do you model good practice?
Avoid the topic entirely so you do not seem to endorse any use of itDisclose when AI helped draft materials and how you checked themRequire tools that students cannot access for freeKeep your own AI use private so that students are not tempted to copy it

Current University is a free, self-paced course site. Lessons were drafted with AI assistance and can contain errors (AI Academy lessons are AI-drafted and machine-checked; a person has not read every lesson), so check anything that matters against a primary source. Current University is not an accredited institution and does not grant degrees or academic credit. AI Academy courses give a free certificate of completion after a graded exam; it is not a degree, credit, license or vendor certification. Nothing here is medical, legal, financial, tax, career or investment advice.

Current University is not an accredited university. No degrees, diplomas, academic credit or CE (continuing education) credit are granted, and it is not affiliated with any university, accrediting body or government. The AI professors and counselors are AI characters, not people. General information only. This is an AI tool, not a licensed professional, and nothing here is professional advice. Using this site does not create a professional relationship. Consult a licensed professional about your situation. In an emergency call 911. If you are thinking about harming yourself: call or text 988 (US).
