AI Syllabus Policy Builder

by D.N. Keane

Bypassing thoughtful consideration of a syllabus by using an AI-powered syllabus generator may not be good for instructors or for students.
—International Journal for the Scholarship of Teaching and Learning

The college wants a policy
In every syllabus—
An AI policy, of course—
And, please don’t make a fuss.

We have AI to help you make
An AI policy.
Just tell the AI what you want—
It’s painless, you will see.

No, no, you shouldn’t write your own,
As it won’t integrate
With our AI detection bot.
We need to automate,

You see, as this will save us cash;
The budget’s tight this year—
These AI systems that we bought
Have really cost us dear.
