This seminar is designed to help faculty who use peer learning and peer evaluation as key parts of their pedagogy to navigate the challenges and opportunities that generative AIs present.
While the primary emphasis will be on student peer review and writing feedback, we will also think carefully about the ways that new technology can facilitate and/or pose challenges to the way that students teach and learn from one another in other contexts (such as group work, multimodal projects, etc.). We will think creatively and critically about the ways that LLMs reproduce genre and language conventions that have the potential either to help students cultivate analytical and rhetorical awareness of their own and one another’s work, or to lead them to fall back on generic patterns of response to writing situations that lack specificity around individual voice, interpersonal relationship, and rhetorical exigency.
