Generative AI Services for Faculty

Generative AI has changed the conditions under which students write, learn, and communicate. The Writing and Communication Center helps faculty respond thoughtfully by making intentional decisions about the role AI should (and should not) play in student learning. The WCC supports faculty in designing assignments, establishing expectations, teaching responsible AI collaboration, and adapting writing instruction and assessment for an AI-enabled environment.

Send an existing assignment or prompt for AI review. The WCC can help identify how generative AI might interact with the task, clarify expectations for students, and consider how the assignment could prohibit, limit, permit, or intentionally incorporate AI. The WCC can also help revise prompts to better support the kind of student thinking and writing you want to see. Please allow one week for review.

Invite the WCC to your class for a focused conversation or activity about generative AI and writing. Visits can address responsible AI use, evaluating AI-generated material, prompting, verification, authorship, disclosure, or expectations for a particular assignment. We can tailor the visit to your course, discipline, and AI policy.

Generative AI can also change how faculty respond to student writing. We can help instructors think through responsible uses of AI for developing feedback, working with rubrics, identifying patterns across student work, or supporting the grading process while maintaining faculty judgment, student privacy, and appropriate human oversight.

The WCC offers instruction for individual faculty, departments, and programs on using generative AI effectively and responsibly. Sessions can range from an introduction to prompting to more advanced work with AI-assisted writing workflows, assignment design, feedback, verification, and responsible human–AI collaboration.

These handouts provide practical tools for talking about generative AI with students and making expectations for AI use clearer. They are designed to help faculty establish a shared vocabulary around concepts such as AI literacy, AI competency, academic integrity, human oversight, and responsible AI use—while distinguishing between simply completing a task with AI and using AI in ways that support genuine learning.

The Invisible Agent Method is a practical framework for using generative AI without surrendering human judgment or responsibility. Students break complex work into smaller tasks and assign AI narrowly defined roles—or “agents”—with clear limitations and human checkpoints. The method develops agentic thinking by teaching students to decide what to delegate, what to verify, and what must remain human work.
