AI Guidance for Faculty: Setting Expectations and Embracing Opportunities
As artificial intelligence tools become increasingly integrated into higher education, it’s important for faculty to clearly communicate expectations, thoughtfully incorporate AI into learning, and prepare students for ethical and effective use.
Clarify expectations in your syllabus
Use the AI Assessment Scale to evaluate each assignment and determine the appropriate level of AI use. Add the scale directly into your syllabus to ensure transparency and consistency.

Reimagine assessments in the AI era
Consider how AI can help make learning more inclusive and effective:
- Ask AI for ideas that align with Universal Design for Learning principles.
- Use formative assessments to support students’ developing knowledge.
- Evaluate how students apply learning rather than just recall facts.
Start conversations with your students
Help students engage critically with AI:
- Discuss topics like digital responsibility, cognitive offload (see study), and ethical AI use.
- Encourage students to earn SDSU’s AI Microcredential, which introduces best practices and responsible use.
