๐Ÿ“Œ Context is King

At Northeastern University, a student discovered her professor had used ChatGPT to create lecture notes and slides โ€” despite school policies forbidding students from using AI tools for assignments. She filed a formal complaint, even demanding a tuition refund.

Generative AI in classrooms is inevitable, but its role is still being negotiated. While professors argue that AI tools free up time for more meaningful student interactions, students worry about declining quality and authenticity.

๐Ÿงญ Discourse Watch

๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ United States
Across U.S. universities, AI use in teaching is expanding, but without clear consensus on best practices. Public discourse centers on transparency, ethical use, and the balance between efficiency and educational value. Cases like Vanderbiltโ€™s AI-written condolence email1) in 2023 have fueled student skepticism.
