Cégep teachers changing their evaluations in response to AI: Study

Study

Nearly three in four cégep teachers have changed their methods of student evaluation in response to AI plagiarism, according to a new study by Dr Lisa Giachini (Cégep Édouard-Montpetit). In her study surveying 345 teachers across 27 cégeps, Giachini found that while 49% of teachers had adopted stricter measures like increased penalties or in-class tests to attempt to reduce AI use, 25% had developed creative solutions to radically transform their assessment style. Examples of these solutions include integrating critical thinking components and prompting students to apply their knowledge to real-life situations. Giachini concluded that “human imagination remains a powerful driver of adaptation.”
