COMMENTARY: ChatGPT poses a threat to many college educators, particularly those in the social sciences and liberal arts, where writing is core to their education and evaluation processes.
College students are taught to logically present and communicate their positions using essays. Their writings are then evaluated to determine how well a student has performed and, in effect, assign the student a grade.If ChatGPT can create such essays, then how can students be evaluated and graded? Under the current model, they cannot.
Calculators expanded the scope of problems that could be tackled. This technological transformation meant that the process rather than the outcome became the target of student evaluation.ChatGPT creates text, but the genesis of such text is existing ideas.Faculty members at the University of Florida meet Jan. 13, 2023, to discuss how to deal with ChatGPT in Gainesville, Florida.
ChatGPT will not be the last text creator available. Indeed, new and improved products are likely to be introduced in the coming years. Will ChatGPT replace college instructors? Hardly. What it could do is improve their ability to educate. It may also expose those who are ineffective.
