Making Refusal a Real Option: A Workshop on Student AI Choice and Equal-Rigor Grading

When we hand students an AI policy from the top down, we make the decision for them. This workshop offers a different move: a classroom method that lets students decide for themselves how, or whether, to use AI, and that holds both choices to equal rigor. We will walk through a three-part structure – Constitution, Choice, Ledger – that I piloted this spring in two interdisciplinary seminars. Students drafted and ratified their own binding AI policy, then each chose either to collaborate with AI or to refuse it entirely. Well over half chose to refuse, and their work was no less rigorous for it. You will leave with a constitution exercise you can run in a single class session, a way to structure an assignment so that refusal is a legitimate and gradable choice, and a simple method for documenting student thinking along the way. It adapts to any discipline, and no prior AI experience is required.
