In this final part of this episode, Tim, Anna, and Jillian continue the discussion, focusing on redesigning or supporting assignments for engagement and integrity. They emphasize removing busywork without attacking faculty, valuing faculty expertise, and using student-centered strategies like self-relevant prompts and strong prep work (practice, low-stakes feedback, and clear purpose) to reduce misuse.  They reaffirm higher education’s broader purpose beyond credentials.
