What is ChatGPT?

ChatGPT

ChatGPT, which stands for Chat Generative Pre-trained Transformer, is a large language model-based chatbot developed by OpenAI and launched on November 30, 2022, which enables users to refine and steer a conversation towards a desired length, format, style, level of detail, and language. Successive prompts and replies, known as prompt engineering, are considered at each conversation stage as a context.

Possible Assignments using ChatGPT

  • Generate an essay on a given topic. 
  • Generate a list of scholarly articles and books for a topic. 
  • Require every writing assignment to have a section about the student--their thoughts, opinions, interactions with the topic.

It's time to rethink plagiarism and cheating. Which of these would you consider cheating? Which of these is relevant to our students' future? Which of these would you use in your work as an adult? The range goes from top (bot-created) to bottom (student-created) -Student plugged prompt in AI, copied response and submitted it to teacher. - AI created a response. Student read, edited, adjusted, and submitted. - Student created multiple AI responses, used the best parts, edited, and submitted. - Student wrote main ideas. AI generated a draft and offered feedback to improve. -Student consulted internet/AI for ideas, then wrote and submitted. - Student wrote all assignment content without consulting AI or the internet.
