Like other automated tools, ChatGPT can be used to make routine or rote work easier. For some examples, you can ask ChatGPT to:
- Write a simplified explanation for a complex topic
- Create a syllabus, or a lecture outline
- Write a complete lesson plan, including readings to assign, lecture or discussion topics, in-class and homework exercises, exam questions, assessment rubrics, etc.
- Brainstorm ideas for a new research project
- Write a first draft of [insert whatever you want to write about here]
Of course, you will need to edit all of this, but that is less work than generating the initial drafts.
Then you can use all that time you have saved to:
- Provide more individualized instruction/mentoring to your students
- Oh, we're sure you can fill out plenty more bullet points here yourself
