  • Summary

  • This episode examines the unique power of reflective assignments (journals, logs diaries), which, when done properly, require the genuine thoughts and feelings of students—something AI can’t truly replicate. However, the discussion also acknowledges the risk of AI being used to craft reflections. Listen in for a nuanced exploration of how reflection fosters critical thinking and how oral presentations may help preserve academic integrity in the AI era.
