University criminology course now requires students to use AI, quoting it in assignments
Pebbles2005 · reddit · 2026-09-12
An online criminology student complains their course doesn't just permit AI—it requires it. Video assignments must include asking an AI to clarify course material plus 2 direct AI quotes, all carefully documented, or the credit can't be earned. The professor's rationale: AI is a useful tool that's here to stay.
The student argues they can do the research themselves, and that allowing documented AI use is different from mandating it to pass. They end by asking for environmentally safe / ethical AI options.
