Goal
Test whether GenAI can save preparation time when drafting a worksheet or problem sheet for a specific course.
Verification reminder. All mathematical claims, solutions, and code should be checked independently by a human.
Suggested task
- Choose one course you actually teach.
- Choose one topic for a 20-30 minute worksheet.
- Ask the GenAI for a first draft.
- Check mathematical correctness, level, notation, and progression.
- Discuss what was genuinely useful and what still required human work.
Example prompt
I teach a first course in calculus. Create a short worksheet on implicit differentiation for university students. Include: 2 warm-up exercises, 2 medium exercises, 1 challenge exercise, and a brief solution sketch for the teacher. Keep notation standard and avoid applications that require physics background.
Questions for the group
- Did the GenAI choose an appropriate level?
- Were the exercises mathematically correct?
- Did the sequence definition → example → exercise make sense?
- How much editing would still be needed before classroom use?
Minimum output expected from the group
- One example of a useful time-saving output
- One mathematical or pedagogical issue that required correction
- One rule of thumb for responsible classroom use
