Activity
- Choose an assignment from this course (such as Task 1) that you created without help from AI, plus 1-2 other examples for homework you submitted for feedback and a grade in another course.
- Prompt our class chatbot for a fresh critique, including any ancillary material [see class recommendations if applicable] and sample prompt below).
- Regenerate the prompt until you have a significantly different grade.
- In 5 or more sentences, compare the human evaluation versus the AI one according to at least 3 distinct criteria, such as the following. Include in your comparison paragraph at least 3 directly quoted examples from the feedback to support your points.
- Is the feedback constructive?
- Is the feedback specific?
- Is the feedback encouraging?
- Does the feedback fit the level of the course?
- Does the feedback fit the rubric (if available)?
- Complete the survey for the task.
Requirements for the homework to be critiqued
- The assignment must be purely text-based.
- The assignment must already have received a grade and written feedback.
- The assignment must be from high school or college.
- The assignment must have been given to you (not someone else’s assignment).
Sample prompt
Note that you can type in the content between brackets “[…]” verbatim; as long as you fill in the “< … >” with your custom information, GPT-4 will treat the former as a template and autocomplete the rest.

Assignment description
Task 1: Disruption winners and losers
Match a disruptive technology from the first column with an industry from the second. In one paragraph, explain specific ways that technology could transform how things are done in that industry. In the next paragraph, explain who will benefit and who will suffer due to this disruption. In the third, imagine the effects on society if the old way of doing things completely disappears. What will be gained, and what will be lost?
You must cite evidence or quotes from at least three sources; you may start your research at Wikipedia but the sources you cite cannot be Wikipedia itself. For the purposes of this assignment, you do not need to write a formal bibliographic citation; incorporating a linked title into our post will suffice.
