About this episode
In this episode, I explore the essay’s evolution as an assessment tool and its potential transformation with the advent of AI. Inspired by a LinkedIn post from Paul Matthews and an article on why students cheat by Richard Culatta, I’ll outline a practical 4 step process to help teachers adapt the essay writing process so it remains relevant in the 21st century.
