4.5 🤖💬 Bot Reflection (Required to earn certificate)

  • Posted by CUNY Mindset Initiative on June 20, 2025 at 8:10 pm

    🤖 Step 1: Say hello to our 🤖Section 4.5 Tutor (this will open in a new tab)! Follow the prompts and converse with it for at least 5 minutes. It has been designed to ask you questions about your experiences and reactions to this section. Type “END” into the bot at any time to get a summary of topics covered.

    💬 Step 2: Return here and share your experience in the reflection forum. How did it go? Any surprises with this kind of interaction? (Alternatively, you can simply copy & paste the summary you get after typing “END.”)

    ✅ After you submit your response, please return to Module 4 – section 4.5 and move on to the next section.

    We explored how you might implement “The Effort Audit” in your intermediate-level, in-person media analysis course. The focus was on how this activity emphasizes process over product, encouraging students to reflect on their efforts, recognize the importance of learning, and develop a growth mindset. We discussed how it promotes reflection as a habit, which is crucial for fostering deeper understanding and continuous improvement. You also highlighted the value of making revision a regular practice, allowing students to iterate and improve without penalty.

    For future consideration, continue integrating reflective practices like the “Effort Audit” to help students become more aware of their learning processes. This activity can serve as a foundation for more complex tasks and encourage ongoing engagement with AI as a supportive tool in their academic journey.

    4.5 Tutor Summary

    In our conversation, we explored the “What Happens If…?” activity, focusing on adapting it for an academic service setting with students who are struggling in their courses. We discussed how to use AI as a supportive tool to encourage experimentation and curiosity, addressing concerns about AI taking over the thinking process. We highlighted strategies such as reflecting on the process, engaging critically with AI outputs, and prompting growth mindset responses to help students view AI as a collaborative partner in their learning journey.

    For the future, consider guiding students to see AI as a tool for exploration and reflection, encouraging them to iterate and think critically about their learning process. This approach can help them build confidence and engage more deeply with their academic challenges.
