You are granted the permission to . . .
- not grade every assignment.
- not provide feedback on every aspect (e.g., content, language, mechanics) of every assignment.
- not provide feedback on every section of every assignment.
The key is to communicate your approach with your students.
As ChatGPT and other GenAI writing tools evolve, a focus on the connection between
writing and learning becomes even more crucial.
To help combat misuse, CWP encourages instructors to highlight the ways that writing is a vehicle for learning content to establish a culture of academic integrity that prioritizes critical thinking. ChatGPT and other AI writing programs produce essay frames, but they do not include the discipline-specific elements of writing–i.e., voice, appropriate evidence and citation, and deep analysis–which make WI courses powerful learning experiences.
