GenAI Reading Group – “University Students and Matters of Judgement”

Join us for our monthly reading group exploring generative AI in teaching and learning contexts. This is an informal discussion space for faculty, staff, and educational developers to engage with current research on GenAI in higher education. This event is hosted on the CTSI GenAI in Teaching and Learning Commons Teams Channel. 

This Month's Reading: 

Walton, J., Bearman, M., Crawford, N., Tai, J., & Boud, D. (2025). How University Students Work on Assessment Tasks with Generative Artificial Intelligence: Matters of Judgement. Assessment & Evaluation in Higher Education, 1–17. https://doi.org/10.1080/02602938.2025.2570328  

This article examines how students make complex judgements when using GenAI for assessments - not just evaluating AI outputs, but also assessing their own knowledge and contributions. Through interviews with 26 Australian university students, researchers found that students often misjudge how much they've actually altered GenAI outputs. The authors argue for shifting focus from policing cheating to redesigning assessments that help students develop better awareness of their own learning. 

How to Participate: 

• Read what you can of the article beforehand - no formal preparation required 
• Bring your thoughts, questions, and reactions - all perspectives and levels of GenAI experience welcome
