Ethan Mollick, Professor at @Wharton, is a brilliant educator on how AI is impacting the classroom.

He breaks down how AI is creating the “Homework Apocalypse” and how to handle each assignment type 👇

ESSAYS:

1. Back to in-class essays: doesn’t take advantage of AI.

2. Keep outside essays, forbid AI: impossible to control.

3. Keep outside essays, require AI: burden is on instructor to QA.

4. Active learning in class: best long-term option, requires structural change.

READINGS:

1. Only test on readings where AI sucked: more instructor leg work, not sustainable.

2. Do not disclose discussion topics until students are in class: might not be as accessible.

3. Use AI as a reading partner: requires experimentation.

PROBLEM SETS:

Might perform middle of the road today, but assume AI will continue to improve and will become more multimodal and can even answer geometry questions like the below.

Keep testing your questions in ChatGPT GPT-4 and Bing creative mode.

Changes are coming fast. This is the summer to jump in.
