Students are accustomed to classroom assessments that demand a single correct answer, or an answer that aligns with whatever the professor wants. The problem is these types of assessments demand little of the critical thinking we aim to instill in our students. In the age of AI, this problem is exacerbated.

This workshop, led by Quentin Langley, crisis communications expert and adjunct professor of public relations, aims to give instructors new approaches to assessment tools that foster higher order skills from Bloom’s Taxonomy. This workshop shares how tools such as debates, contested-position papers, and structured reflection on in-class tasks can both require evaluation and synthesis of different ideas while remaining robust against agent-generated coursework.

Attendees will come away with:

1. A greater appreciation for the value and uses of debate tools for assessment.
2. Actionable uses of reflection models as assessment directly linked to in-class activities.
3. Applicable ideas for assessment tools tailored to your courses.

If you’re looking for new approaches to assess your students’ learning in the age of AI and route multiple choice exams, this workshop is for you.
