The hottest topic this year in our university is generative artificial intelligence and its use in assessments. In Season 1 of this podcast, we're giving a voice to engineering and architecture students to share their views on AI and Assessment. Many students will remember the stress of doing closed-book invigilated exams in big exam halls that are far too warm in summer and far too cold in winter. Others will remember sitting online exams during Covid, when you know everyone else could be cheating.

There are many different forms of assessment used at UCD, and they all have their pros and cons. We've dedicated a full episode to six forms of assessment: (1) closed book exams (2) reflective assignments, (3) online exams, (4) lab reports, (5) individual assignments and (6) group projects. Our students have put a huge amount of work into gathering facts and figures and viewpoints from academics, librarians, industry professionals and other students.

The means the podcast will contain all sorts of discussions, debates, contrasting views, candid admissions and innovative ideas. So stay tuned to hear what we have to say. We even have a special final episode that will review the main highlights from the season, as well as tips and tricks.

So if you like what you hear, please like, share and subscribe and happy listening!
