Make your assignments show learning again.
Assignment CheckUp is a free tool for faculty. It reads your syllabus and assignment sheets, shows which graded work an AI assistant could now do for a student, and helps you revise it, with a matching rubric and a graded example.
| Graded work | Share of grade | AI could do it now |
|---|---|---|
| Take-home essay | 40% | Largely |
| Problem sets | 25% | Partly |
| In-class exam | 25% | Little |
| Discussion | 10% | Little |
Found: most of this grade rests on work an AI assistant could help a student do.
Next: suggested changes, starting with the essay.
Five steps, at your own pace
Suggested changes
A report on your course: where the grade comes from, how your syllabus handles AI, and the changes most worth making, marked by where to start.
Step 2Choose and revise
Pick the changes you like. CheckUp drafts a revised assignment sheet for you to edit.
Step 3A matching rubric
If you want one, a rubric that fits the revised assignment, with the number of criteria and levels you choose.
Step 4See it graded
See the rubric applied to made-up sample answers, adjust it where you disagree, and get a sense of the grading time.
Step 5Try it with your students
When you are ready: a one-page request for your IT and privacy offices, and a hand-off to run one assignment with one class for one term.
Most assignments were built for a world without AI
Syllabi now say something about AI. The graded work itself has mostly not changed.
