## Prompt

```text
Help me redesign an assignment so it still measures what students actually learned now that AI tools are widely available.

**Current assignment:** [PASTE PROMPT AND RUBRIC]
**Course and level:** [LEVEL]
**What it is meant to assess:** [SKILLS OR OUTCOMES]
**My AI policy for this assignment:** [e.g. "not allowed", "allowed for brainstorming with disclosure", "required and documented"]
**Constraints:** [class size, grading time, online vs. in person]

Do the following:
1. Test it honestly: explain how a student could complete the current version with AI with little learning, and which outcomes are most at risk.
2. Propose 3 redesign options, mixing approaches such as: staged process with drafts and reflections, connection to class-specific material or local data, personal experience, in-class or oral components, critiquing or improving an AI output, or a short follow-up conversation.
3. For the option you recommend: rewrite the student prompt, list the deliverables at each stage, and update the rubric so it rewards the thinking I care about.
4. Estimate the added grading time and suggest how to keep it manageable.
5. Write a short student-facing explanation of why the assignment is designed this way.

Don't suggest relying on AI-detection tools as evidence; they are unreliable. Keep accessibility in mind (oral components need alternatives for students with accommodations).
