Description
This talk documents an attempt to use AI text-generation tools for pedagogical purposes in an introductory physics course. In a PHYS 101 (algebra-based introductory mechanics) course at Harford Community College in Fall 2023, the instructor assigned review activities in which students had to analyze AI-generated answers to physics problems and questions, spotting mistakes and distinguishing correct answers from incorrect ones. The talk with give examples of such activities, discuss the (mixed) student response and evaluate the pros and cons of this kind of assignment.
