But failures were also linked to cautious, risk-avoidant responses. Only the proactive changes were related to better performance. 2/n

Workplace climate also mattered.

Interested to hear how others are approaching this, especially what’s working in your courses. 4/4

I don’t prohibit AI tools because I think they can be helpful, and I use them myself. But I’m wrestling with how much I can use application activities in the future. I don’t love the idea of relying so heavily on exams, but I don’t know how else to keep things fair for those putting in the work. 3/x

I used best practices for making assignments resistant to outsourcing to AI (and reducing the motivation to do this). Still, its use was pretty frequent and impressive at simulating thoughtful work. I often only caught it when students cited concepts we hadn’t actually covered in the course. 2/x

Unfortunately, this doesn’t add to your citation count, but I’ve started referencing this paper in my syllabi when covering the importance of class attendance.

The take-home? Don’t disregard academic performance as not being a predictor of future success, though not all metrics are created equal. And as always, pairing it with other predictors, such as structured interviews, can lead to better hiring decisions. 6/6
