Lessons Learned: Be a Rick
ECA Blog: March 2024
Dr. Vivian Romero, Early Career Academic Committee, Deputy Chair
I adore the fact that I am still learning and I hope you will chuckle along as I share my failure. My lesson learned emerged from a creative assessment. So, as teaching academics, we are in the dark forest of the AI assessment world. I may be one of the few who say good riddance to the traditional 3000-word essay.
