So how are you doing that in your classes? What does your writing class look like and how different is it from my writing class in the 1900s? Yeah,

Anna MillsGUEST
And I love that you talk about the multiple strategies that we, that we can have to meet this moment.

Anna MillsGUEST
Um, I feel like the first thing that we have to do is make the case that you're not just writing for a product for a grade for the teacher, but that there's meaning for you in this activity, in this process.

Anna MillsGUEST
That we can use writing as a way to help us think more clearly about the things that we care about.

Anna MillsGUEST
And so I give students a lot of choice around the specific focus of their papers.

Anna MillsGUEST
So the, the Peter and AI Review plus Reflection project was started at UC Davis, and I was sort of doing something parallel with a not-for-profit app called My Essay Feedback as a volunteer advisor, and then we kind of joined, joined forces.

Anna MillsGUEST
And I just think this is such a solid approach because it is building on and complementary to what we're already doing in writing pedagogy.

Anna MillsGUEST
Everything we know is meaningful and works well, and it's bringing AI in, but- Not to change everything or take over, but as a complement in its place alongside peer review and instructor feedback.

Anna MillsGUEST
And the idea is that it can support writers to be more reflective, to be thinking about their human audiences, their human readers.

Anna MillsGUEST
So we actually prompt the feedback to talk about, "Your readers might be curious about this," or, "Readers might wonder this," or, "The way you've structured this really helps readers connect to this idea." So even if it's wrong, it's at least nudging them to think about that human purpose of writing.
