The release of ChatGPT to the public at the end of 2022 caused quite the stir in the educational community. Students and professors reacted with emotions ranging from curiosity, to skepticism, to apprehension. One thing was sure: the impact of Large Language Models (LLMs) in the classroom promised to be significant. Will ChatGPT stifle critical thinking, or can it be used to foster it? How can we attribute and evaluate students’ work in the AI era? And what will students expect to learn from their instructors about proper uses of LLMs?
