6. Encourage critical thinking and reflection: Prompt the AI to generate prompts that encourage critical thinking and reflection.
   Example: “Create discussion prompts for a philosophy class exploring existentialism.” The AI might generate questions like, “How does existentialism influence personal identity?” or “Reflect on the existential themes in a contemporary work of literature or film.”
7. Check for clarity and coherence: Review the prompts generated by the AI to ensure clarity and coherence. Adjust language or rephrase questions as needed to ensure that students can easily understand and respond to the prompts.

Rubric design is a critical aspect of assessing student work. Generative AI can streamline this process by helping instructors create fair and comprehensive rubrics. In this session, we will learn how to leverage AI to design rubrics tailored to specific assignments and projects. By examining real-world examples, participants will gain insights into how AI can enhance the assessment process, providing more nuanced and objective evaluation criteria.

1. Identify assessment criteria: Define the assessment criteria for the assignment or project. For example, if grading a research paper, criteria might include thesis clarity, evidence quality, organization, and writing mechanics.
2. Generate overall Rubric structure: Prompt the generative AI with a request for an overall rubric structure.
   Example: “Generate a rubric structure for grading a persuasive essay.” The AI may provide a general format, including categories like “Thesis Statement,” “Supporting Evidence,” and “Organization.”
3. Break down categories into subcriteria: Use the AI to break down each category into specific subcriteria.
   Example: “Generate subcriteria for assessing ‘Thesis Statement’ in a persuasive essay rubric.” The AI might generate subcriteria such as “Clarity of thesis,” “Relevance to the prompt,” and “Originality.”
4. Determine scoring levels: Define the scoring levels for each subcriterion.
   Example: “Generate scoring levels for ‘Clarity of thesis’ in a persuasive essay rubric.” The AI might provide levels like “Excellent (4): Clearly stated and focused,” “Good (3): Mostly clear,” “Satisfactory (2): Somewhat clear,” and “Needs Improvement (1): Unclear or vague.”
