MBA

Prompt: I want to create a new kind of assignment for my MBA students that have a number of related steps for students. The idea is to have an AI related step and then a non-AI step. Students will have to do something with an AI chatbot (eg like chatGPT) and something on their own. Give me 5 examples of such an assignment. To make it harder for students to cheat by reusing the chatbot to do the non-AI part of the task, suggest non-AI tasks that would require much more personalization on the part of the student. For instance, students could be asked to refer to specific examples/situations they have experienced.

1. Market Analysis and Personal Investment Strategy

AI Component: Students use an AI chatbot to gather the latest trends, data, and forecasts in a specific market or industry (e.g., technology, healthcare, renewable energy).
Non-AI Component: Based on the information gathered, students then write a detailed investment strategy for a hypothetical portfolio. This strategy must include a personal reflection on their risk tolerance, relate to historical market downturns or booms they've observed, and outline how they would adjust their strategy in response to certain market events.

2. Product Development and Personal Selling

AI Component: Students interact with an AI to design a new product or service, leveraging the AI's ability to generate creative ideas, branding concepts, and marketing strategies.
Non-AI Component: Students then create a sales pitch or presentation for their product or service, incorporating their own personal experiences with successful or unsuccessful sales tactics, storytelling to make the pitch compelling, and a reflection on the ethical considerations of selling this product or service.

3. Leadership Challenge and Reflective Essay

AI Component: Students use an AI chatbot to simulate a leadership challenge, where the AI presents a complex organizational problem involving team dynamics, financial constraints, or ethical dilemmas.
Non-AI Component: Students write a reflective essay on how they would personally handle the situation, drawing on their own past experiences in leadership roles, lessons learned from those experiences, and how those lessons influence their decision-making process.

4. Customer Service Scenario and Empathy Exercise

AI Component: Students engage with an AI to role-play a series of customer service scenarios, where they must resolve complaints or address customer needs.
Non-AI Component: Students then write a reflection on a time they received exceptional or poor customer service in real life, analyzing what made the experience memorable and how they would apply those lessons to improve the AI's customer service responses or their own approach in a management role.

5. Ethical Dilemma Discussion and Personal Code of Ethics

AI Component: Students use an AI to explore various ethical dilemmas faced by businesses today, such as data privacy, AI bias, and sustainability practices.
Non-AI Component: Students draft a personal code of ethics, reflecting on how their values align or conflict with current business practices they have observed or been a part of. They should include personal anecdotes that highlight why certain ethical principles are particularly important to them and how they would resolve conflicts between different ethical considerations in a business context.

Criteria	1 (Lowest)	3 (Moderate)	5 (Highest)
Understanding and Application of AI	Minimal understanding of AI capabilities; application is superficial or incorrect.	Basic understanding of AI capabilities; application is correct but lacks depth.	Thorough understanding of AI capabilities; application is insightful, detailed, and appropriately integrated into the assignment.
Creativity and Innovation	Work lacks originality; ideas are clichéd or directly copied from AI without modification.	Some evidence of creativity; work shows moderate levels of original thought and minor adjustments to AI-generated ideas.	High level of creativity and innovation; student significantly expands on AI-generated ideas or presents unique solutions not directly suggested by AI.
Personal Reflection and Application	Reflection is minimal or generic, with no personal connection or application to real-world experiences.	Reflection shows some personal insight, but connections or applications to real-world experiences are shallow or not fully developed.	Deep and insightful personal reflection; clearly articulates connections to real-world experiences, demonstrating profound application of personal learning and growth.
Critical Thinking and Ethical Consideration	Minimal or no evidence of critical thinking or ethical consideration; fails to question or analyze AI responses or the implications of decisions.	Some evidence of critical thinking and ethical consideration; analysis is present but may be superficial or not fully reasoned.	Strong evidence of critical thinking and ethical consideration; student critically evaluates AI responses, challenges assumptions, and thoroughly considers the ethical implications of decisions.
Clarity, Organization, and Presentation	Work is poorly organized and presented; writing is unclear, with numerous grammatical or spelling errors.	Work is adequately organized and presented; writing is mostly clear, with some errors that do not significantly hinder comprehension.	Work is exceptionally well-organized and presented; writing is clear, concise, and free of grammatical or spelling errors.

TESOL

Prompt: I want to create a new kind of assignment for my University MA in TESOL students that have a number of related steps for students. The idea is to have an AI related step and then a non-AI step. Students will have to do something with an AI chatbot (eg like chatGPT) and something on their own. Give me 5 examples of such an assignment. To make it harder for students to cheat by reusing the chatbot to do the non-AI part of the task, suggest non-AI tasks that would require much more personalization on the part of the student. For instance, students could be asked to refer to specific examples/situations they have experienced.

1. Language Variation and Register Analysis

AI Task: Ask students to use an AI chatbot to generate text in different registers (formal, informal, technical, etc.) and dialects of English. They should provide the chatbot with specific scenarios or topics and request variations in language use accordingly.

Non-AI Task: Students then write a reflective essay on how language variation and register are influenced by context, purpose, and audience, drawing on their own experiences of using different language styles in various cultural and social settings. They could include examples from their own life where they had to adjust their language use, reflecting on the challenges and strategies they employed.

2. Lesson Plan Development

AI Task: Students interact with an AI to generate ideas for a language teaching lesson plan based on a specific grammar point or vocabulary set. The AI can provide activities, resources, and assessment methods.

Non-AI Task: Students then develop a detailed lesson plan that integrates these ideas but also includes their own adaptations and additional activities that cater to the specific needs, backgrounds, and interests of a class they have previously taught or observed. They should reflect on how their personal teaching philosophy and experiences with their learners inform their lesson planning process.

3. Error Analysis and Feedback

AI Task: Students input a piece of written work (it could be anonymized work from past students or generated by the AI itself) into the chatbot and ask it to identify errors and suggest corrections.

Non-AI Task: Students then write a personalized feedback letter to the hypothetical student, incorporating the AI's suggestions but also adding their own feedback based on their understanding of the student's language learning history, challenges, and goals. This task emphasizes the importance of personalized, constructive feedback and encourages students to reflect on their approach to error correction and learner support.

4. Cultural Sensitivity in Language Teaching

AI Task: Have students use an AI chatbot to generate examples of culturally sensitive and insensitive language use in teaching materials for learners from a specific cultural background.

Non-AI Task: Students then create a mini-guide for teachers on culturally sensitive language teaching practices, using the AI-generated examples as a starting point. They should augment this with their own insights and experiences from teaching learners from diverse cultural backgrounds, discussing how cultural sensitivity affects language teaching and learning.

5. Technology Integration in TESOL

AI Task: Students consult an AI chatbot for the latest trends and tools in educational technology that can be applied to TESOL. They should ask for recommendations on tools that facilitate language learning and teaching.

Non-AI Task: Students then design a small-scale research project or case study proposal that investigates the effectiveness of one of these tools in a real-world TESOL context. This proposal should include a literature review (highlighting gaps the proposed study aims to fill), research questions, methodology, and how they plan to apply their personal teaching experiences and observations to the study.
