TEACHING WHEN STUDENTS HAVE AI: A Practical Playbook for Redesigning Assessment, Protecting Integrity and Building Real Learning

By Dr Jitendra Pandey

Your students have AI. Your assessments need to catch up.

Generative AI tools like ChatGPT can write the essay, solve the problem set and produce the code in seconds. So what does a grade still tell you?

Teaching When Students Have AI is a practical, research-informed playbook for college and university instructors who want to stop guessing and start designing. Instead of asking "Did this student use AI?", a question that detectors cannot reliably answer, it asks one you can: "What evidence do I have that this student learned what I intended?"

Written by an experienced educator, program leader and author of an institution-wide AI literacy curriculum, this book gives you clear frameworks, ready-to-use templates and step-by-step plans you can apply next week, in any discipline.

Inside you will find:
A five-level AI Use Scale that tells students exactly what AI use is allowed, assessment by assessment, from AI-free to AI-centered
20 before-and-after assignment makeovers across writing, STEM, computing, business, nursing, education and research
Five ready-to-use rubrics and an "AI baseline test" that stop polished AI output from earning the grade
Oral, in-class and authentic assessment formats that work even for classes of 200 or more students
An evidence-based guide to AI detection tools: what they can and can't tell you, and a fair, six-step process when you suspect misuse
Course AI policy templates and syllabus language students actually read and follow
AI literacy lessons and prompt patterns that teach students to use AI as a thinking partner, not an answer machine
Guidance on equity, accessibility and student privacy, including FERPA, ADA and multilingual learners
17 worksheets and a 30-day course redesign plan that brings it all together

This book is for you if you are:
A professor, lecturer, adjunct or teaching assistant redesigning assessments for the age of AI
A department chair, program director or academic integrity officer writing AI policy
An instructional designer or faculty developer supporting teaching with generative AI
A high school or community college teacher looking for practical, adaptable strategies

Grounded in learning science and current research on AI in education, yet written in plain, practical language, this book helps you protect academic integrity, build real learning and teach confidently in the AI era, without becoming the AI police.
