Doing a lot of stuff in class. It’s the only way—process process process. Assessment is a bit tricky but doable. You skip you lose; I didn’t invent CheatGPT

This is a big part of the solution. Maybe quiz, exam questions or oral tests based on written assignments to maintain some of the value of slower writing but insist they develop a mastery of the content? I don’t want to switch to 100% in-class handwriting.

Depending on the course and whether knowledge/mastery of content is essential, you could also assess participation & products of in-class exercises. Less testy, more process oriented. I’m big on reflections too, but I hear these are being run through LLMs too—tho possibly more easy to detect.

I ran a test last year by feeding my syllabus and lecture slides into Gemini Pro and asked it to write a reflection. It aced the assignment. I might need to reconsider sharing slides going forward.

I started doing weekly quizzes last year. I have a formula, but basically, quizzes don't have their own mark category, so students can't be penalised for doing poorly. But if they do well consistently, their final participation mark goes up. Quizzes can cover readings, films, previous lectures.
