> Such as? We need an answer now because students are being assessed now.
When I was in university (Humanities degree), we had to do lots of mandatory essays throughout the year but they counted little towards your overall mark, maybe 10% iirc.
The majority of marks came from mid-year & end-of-year exams.
A simple change to negate AI is to not award any points for work outside exams — make it an optional chance to get feedback from lecturers. If students want to turn in work by AI, it's up to them

My sense is that if writing was entirely optional, it would be too easy for students to let it slide; having 10% count toward your grade is a good "nudge" to get honest students to actually do the work. I'd just give a little admonition at the beginning saying that I'm not going to bother checking if you use LLMs, but if you do you're an idiot, because you'll be completely unprepared for the hand-written essay you have to compose yourself in the exams.
Yeah I think that's their rationale for doing it now alright but I mean rather getting into a big rigmarole of AI checkers & plagiarism checkers just trust students initiative to do the work, or not, and let the chips fall where they may come exam time.
University students should be capable enough for that, different at secondary level
