Annotating ChatGPT Outputs

• Students as fact-checkers of ChatGPT
  • The purpose of this assignment is to use both course materials and outside materials to both fact-check and create a bibliography for ChatGPT’s writing. Collaboratively annotating ChatGPT’s work will allow students to review key course ideas.
• Students as content experts critiquing ChatGPT
  • The purpose of this assignment is to use course materials (readings, lectures, etc) to critique ChatGPT’s writing. Collaboratively annotating ChatGPT’s work will allow students to review and examine key course ideas in a critical way by examining what an AI tool has produced.
