Redesign an assessment for the AI era
Rebuilds an assignment so it measures learning even when students have AI access.
Prompt
Current assignment: {{assignment}}
Subject and level: {{subject}}
What it's meant to assess: {{learning_goal}}
Redesign it so it still measures {{learning_goal}} when students have full AI access.
Give me:
1. Why the current version is vulnerable — specifically
2. Three redesigned versions, each using a different strategy:
- Process-based (drafts, iterations, reflection)
- Personal/local context AI can't supply
- In-person or verbal component
3. For each: what it measures, what it costs me in marking time, and how students might still game it
4. A rubric for your strongest version
5. What I lose by redesigning — be honest about the trade-off
Do not suggest AI detection tools. They are unreliable and produce false accusations, disproportionately against students writing in a second language.Fill these in
Replace each highlighted variable before sending. Leaving them in place is the most common reason these prompts under-perform.
| Variable | What to put | Example |
|---|---|---|
{{assignment}} | The current assignment | 1500-word essay on marketing theory |
{{subject}} | Subject and level | Undergraduate business |
{{learning_goal}} | What it should measure | Ability to apply theory to a real case |
Tips for better output
- Point 3's marking-time estimate is essential — a redesign you can't sustain isn't a redesign.
- Point 5 keeps it honest: every redesign trades something away.
