Abstract
This article provides model language for a course assignment in which students use artificial intelligence (AI) tools to prepare for and reflect on simulations. The assignment promotes deep learning and supports formative assessment by helping faculty see how students think, make choices, and develop insights. Students upload the simulation materials and the assignment to an AI tool, use it to plan for the simulation, and return to the same chat afterward to reflect. They then ask the AI to generate a draft paper, which they revise using the Track Changes feature in Word. Faculty can use the same feature to efficiently provide feedback.
This approach helps students develop the professional habits of preparation, reflection, and revision – skills that are essential but often under-emphasized. The article includes optional enhancements and guidance on selecting AI tools, and it encourages faculty to help students learn to use these tools as they will in professional life.
