À PROPOS DE CET ÉPISODE
In this follow-up to episode 41, I share the second lesson plan I used (in which I prepare students to find a piece of research to report on). At the same time, having stumbled across Jay Caspian Kang's "The Despair of the Professor in the Age of AI" in the New Yorker (May 26, 2026), I've been reflecting on the "despair" that professors face in higher education these days. After sharing a few details from a reflection by one of the professors Kang highlights in his article, I offer some brief commentary on how learning is still possible (even though it often feels like it's not). My hope is that this series is a demonstration of that.
I came across it a little late, but I highly recommend Kang's article: https://www.newyorker.com/news/fault-lines/the-despair-of-the-professor-in-the-age-of-ai

In episode 34, I consider another way of looking at my success with AI in the classroom: through assessment. To my mind, AI has imposed a great deal of guesswork into assessment of student writing: "Did my student write this, or was it written by AI?" Since AI is here to stay as part of just about …
As I reflect on my teaching from last year what I'd like to do this year, I'm launching a series that dissects several lesson plans I used on writing skill: inductive reasoning in cause and effect. The lesson plans led up to a passage students wrote with AI, and they incorporate a lot of teaching k…
For episode 36, I share a helpful acronym from Richard Fulkerson called the STAR criteria. STAR can prompt learners (or all of us) to ask: is my support sufficient, typical, accurate, and relevant? STAR can also be helpful for writing transfer. While I've used the STAR criteria to help students mak…
Questions about whether and how AI is used in writing and other communication seem to be an important part of the writer/audience relationship. In this episode, I walk through my effort to include transparency as a form of knowledge about writing. With transparency as a frame, this semester I have …
In this episode, I share a short lesson plan I used to begin a conversation with students about AI on the first day of classes. I showed them an AI-generated ad that stirred some controversy, we had a brief discussion regarding students' judgments about the ethics of AI use, and then I also introdu…
