Critically assess ChatGPT

The activity is utilised as a multi-week project, typically embedded on the modules as part of the formative assessment and has been embedded on various modules at both undergraduate and postgraduate level.

Description
Tried and tested (used and developed over three academic years or more)
Time duration: 2-3 weeks (usually started the week prior to reading week and culminating the week after reading week)
Student level: Any but primarily used on level 6 and 7.
Preparation time before class: 5 minutes
Additional materials or equipment needed: Access to ChatGPT and Library gateway

- This feels counterintuitive as you are teaching the whole cohort to use AI. They use it anyway so just roll with it! Modules this has been used on have been a lower rates of AI in their summative assessments.
