Pedagogy Group Reflection: Reading and Writing in the Disciplines

I’m participating a Pedagogy Group organized by the Center for Teaching and Learning.

The Prompts

  1. Why do we ask students to write in our classes?
  2. What are the challenges for us in delivering writing assignments in the age of AI?

Reading and writing are the first technologies of any technological society. They are the base and foundation on which everything else is built. Compare the ~300,000 years of human history before the invention of writing with the more recent ~6000 years of documented history. Culture has evolved considerably since the invention of writing. We ask our students to write so that they can come to wield the most powerful meta-tool humanity has ever created.
