My ChatGPT Course Policy

On my syllabus:

I encourage you to use ChatGPT.

It is a powerful new research tool. Anything that enables you to learn faster and become more skillful is to be embraced.

At the same time, a tool is not a substitute for your own self-development. As a student, your goal is to acquire as much new knowledge as you can and to become skillful with every useful learning tool available. The goal is for you to become knowledgeable and wise, and for you to become excellent at research and judgment.

Metaphorically: Become a lean, mean learning machine. And make that a personal goal and a matter of honor.

If you are taking this course for credit, it is your responsibility to demonstrate that the work you submit is your own. There are many ways to do that, and you and I can consult individually to determine which way is best for you.

  1. Transaction costs will be high for those offering mass and semi-impersonal education. I have the luxury of teaching more Socratically and in a more liberal-arts-college context.

  2. Could you share some of the practical ways you have found that students can, “demonstrate that the work you submit is your own”?
