AI-Adapted Solutions
  • Redesign questions to require explanation, justification, and application to contextual problems. 
  • Shift assessment weight from polished answers to reasoning quality, method, and decision‑making. 
  • Align questions and marking criteria directly with intended learning outcomes and observable learning behaviours. 
  • Pair written responses with verbal explanations or structured defence of answers. 
  • Use it as one formative data point, combined with quizzes, in‑class tasks, and reflective follow‑ups. 
  • Require local contexts, explicit justification and citation, and disclosure of any AI use.
