For faculty and graduate students who primarily use writing assignments. The invention of large-language generative AI models has forever changed how the public views writing. In this hands-on workshop, we will explore ways in which we can leverage pedagogical strategies to engage students in focusing on writing as a process, rather than simply a product. Strategies will fall along a continuum - from those for instructors who wish to prevent generative AI-usage to those for others who would like to use it in a sophisticated and responsible manner in their classrooms. Please identify (or bring) a specific assignment for the workshop, as we will be engaging in redesign of assignments in the workshop.
