[Lingtyp] "AI" and linguistics problem sets (Mark Post)

[Hannah Sarvasy]

Dear Mark and all,

One thing I have tried, but which still needs honing, is to create hybrid problem sets/assignments, with one component that draws vaguely on 'what we did in class' and then the new written data ('Analyze the attached dataset in the same way we did this in class'; 'Use the conceptual methods from class to explain...'). This way, at least, the students have to attend/remember/formulate what was done in class themselves to be able to feed the whole thing to their AI 'helpers'.

For this to be useful, you can't have a set of slides with all key terms, definitions, answers, methods, etc. spelled out; I often have blanks in slides that students need to fill in themselves (sort of their notes template).

If they attended class, but understood and did nothing, then (ideally) they won't be able to do the assignment well when they go home and feed it to AI.

Best,
Hannah
