A recent article in Inside Higher Ed discusses how some instructors are requiring students to handwrite their work to ensure that they are not using AI. Instructors such as Durham College Professor Sara Gallagher shared how they have implemented this change. Gallagher shared that instructors sometimes feel pressured to use generative AI within the classroom without guidance on how to detect academic dishonesty. Gallagher and Monica Sain (Mission College), who both require students to complete essays in class, said that switching to handwritten assignments increased student engagement and connection. Melissa Ryckman (University of Tennessee Southern) also shared the impact that this change has on class content.
