Yale has seen an increase in humanities and writing courses requiring in-person exams from 14.8% to 20% between the 2023-24 and 2026-27 academic years, reflecting concerns about generative AI undermining student skill development. Some professors redesign assessments to focus on in-class writing challenges and oral defenses rather than policing AI use, while others incorporate AI directly into coursework.
