Teaching Foundations: Examining Your Course Design for Inclusion and Equity

Use the summer to learn more about making calls from your computer or mobile device using Microsoft Teams. Short videos (about one minute or less) show how to make, answer, transfer, and forward calls; set up and listen to voicemail; put calls on hold; or call someone using their phone number or username.
In this illuminating opinion piece, Columbia University undergraduate Owen Kichizo Terry reflects on the disconnect between how professors and administrators think students use generative AI on written work and how they actually use it. Terry notes, “We don’t fully lean into AI and teach how to best use it, and we don’t fully prohibit it to keep it from interfering with exercises in critical thinking. We’re at an awkward middle ground where nobody knows what to do, where very few people in power even understand that something is wrong.”
