Approved Prompts for AI Use on Assignments
Teacher-approved prompts for AI use can reduce student cheating on assignments. When the teacher customizes assignment-specific prompts, students are encouraged to write from their own human intelligence rather than find AI-generated work to plagiarize. Mollick & Mollick (2023) explain that students are kept in the "human loop" because they critically assess the AI response and add their original thoughts and knowledge. Students also learn to record and cite AI use in their writing, which increases accountability instead of cheating. Most important is the communication from teacher to student about the responsible and ethical use of AI throughout the assignment. AI literacy among teachers and students is key in the appropriate and effective use of AI in education (Zhou & Peng, 2025).
