Minutes of Teaching and Learning Ad hoc Committee Meeting

Agenda Item 4.1: Dynamics of Relying on Chatbots when Writing Assignments

The Teaching and Learning Ad hoc Committee convened a meeting on [date] to discuss the dynamics of
relying on chatbots when writing assignments. The meeting was chaired by Prof. Song and attended by
academics, administrators, and student representatives.

Prof. Song opened the meeting by acknowledging the declining students' performance caused by
academic dishonesty. He emphasized the need to address the issue of students submitting assignments
that lack originality. The purpose of the meeting was to share with student representatives the
implications of relying on chatbots and how it affects academic performance.

Dr. Sibeko, on behalf of the lecturers, shared her findings on the use of chatbots in assignments. She
highlighted that students in modules such as Practising Workplace English and literature modules were
failing to respond creatively to the given background information and scenarios. Instead of engaging with
the context, students tend to rely on the internet and Artificial Intelligence (AI) to generate answers and
essays. Dr. Sibeko emphasized that academics, being specialists in their respective modules, can easily
detect when the writing style changes or when the answer is not original.

Nthabiseng, one of the student representatives, raised a concern about the perception that academics
are solely responsible for educating students about chatbots. She emphasized that student
representatives should also have a voice in the matter as leaders of the student body. Dr. Sibeko clarified
that the intention was to educate students about the need to adapt their use of chatbots and change
their behavior and attitude towards assignments.

The committee engaged in a discussion regarding the issue of students copying and pasting answers
generated by chatbots. It was acknowledged that while chatbots can generate humanlike answers and
interpretations, there are nuances in a text that only humans can subtly communicate. Thabang, another
student representative, expressed the view that academics should guide students in using generative AI
platforms ethically, rather than simply threatening them with failure. Thabang highlighted that students
are digital natives in the information age and should be taught to navigate these platforms responsibly.

Prof. Song appreciated the insights provided by Dr. Sibeko and Thabang. He acknowledged the
importance of the internet in today's society and recognized that separating students from it would be
unrealistic. He encouraged the committee to provide more inputs on how to address the dynamics of
using chatbots effectively.

Dr. Smith suggested that students should use chatbot technology to enhance their learning experience,
rather than relying on them to generate complete answers. He proposed that students compare their
original answers to those generated through AI, allowing them to evaluate their own output. Dr. Smith
emphasized that students should have confidence in their own efforts and understand that their first
draft is a work in progress. Ms. Brown supported Dr. Smith's suggestion and added that chatbots can
sometimes produce wrong answers or fabricate information. She highlighted the importance of

, integrating real-life examples into assignments, as human beings are more aware of the social, political,
and economic context.

Nthabiseng expressed her agreement with the insights shared by the academic staff. She acknowledged
that the initial perception of AI as a solution to all academic problems was misguided. She recognized
that overreliance on chatbots could stifle creativity and lead to dependency.

In conclusion, Prof. Song reiterated the capabilities of the human mind and encouraged students to
embrace their own creativity and intuition when completing assignments. He urged the student
representatives to disseminate the information discussed in the meeting through their social platforms,
and assured them that the academics would do the same. Prof. Song thanked all participants for their
valuable contributions and adjourned the meeting.

Minutes of the Ad hoc Committee Meeting on Teaching and Learning Agenda Point

4.1: The Impact of Utilizing Chatbots for Assignment Writing The Ad hoc Committee convened a meeting
on [date] to discuss the implications of using chatbots for academic assignments.

The meeting was chaired by Prof. Academics, with participation from administrators, faculty members,
and student representatives. Prof. Melody opened the discussion by addressing the decline in students'
academic performance due to academic dishonesty and stressed the importance of combatting
plagiarism. The main objective of the meeting was to explore the effects of relying on chatbots for
assignment completion on students' academic achievements. Dr. Sibeko presented her research findings
on the use of chatbots in assignments, focusing on the lack of creativity exhibited by students in certain
modules. She highlighted that students tend to rely on the internet and artificial intelligence to generate
responses instead of engaging critically with the given content. Dr. Sibeko emphasized the faculty's
ability to detect when students' writing styles change or when answers are not original. One student
representative, Nthabiseng, raised concerns about the responsibility of educating students about
chatbots not solely resting on the shoulders of teachers but also on student representatives. Dr. Sibeko
stressed the importance of educating students on the appropriate use of chatbots and changing their
attitudes towards assignments. The committee discussed the issue of students copying answers
generated by chatbots, acknowledging that while chatbots can produce human-like responses, they lack
the nuanced understanding that humans have. Thabang, another student representative, suggested that
faculty should guide students on using artificial intelligence platforms ethically rather than simply
threatening them with failure. Prof. Song commended the insights shared by Dr. Thabang and Sibeko and
emphasized the need for the committee to provide further guidance on effectively utilizing chatbots. Dr.
Smith proposed that students should use chatbot technology to supplement their learning experience
rather than rely on it for complete answers. He advised students to compare their own responses with
those generated by chatbots to assess their understanding. Ms. Brown supported Dr. Smith's suggestion,
noting that chatbots can sometimes provide incorrect information or fabricate data. She emphasized the
importance of incorporating real-world examples into assignments due to humans' deeper
understanding of social, political, and economic contexts. Nthabiseng agreed with the academic staff's
