Assessment & Evaluation Pattern

Component Weight Description
Session Reflections 20% A short written reflection submitted after every class — 12 in total, one per session across the six weeks.
Prompt Clinic Journal 20% Three-round prompt iteration log from Module 4 — documents the student's thinking improving across each iteration.
Data Audit 15% Written audit of a real dataset from Module 2 — who collected it, who is missing, and what decisions should not be made from it.
Accountability Tribunal Verdict 15% Individual written verdict from the Module 5 tribunal — one paragraph, signed, with clear reasoning.
Capstone: The AI Audit 30% 1-page structured audit of one AI tool the student uses daily — written with the tool open; must reproduce one failure in real time; peer comment attached.
Total 100%

What the AI Audit Capstone Requires

Each student selects one AI-powered tool they use in daily life — such as a social media feed, a navigation app, a chatbot, or a keyboard autocorrect — and produces a structured 1-page audit covering:

  • What the tool does and what type of AI powers it.
  • What data it likely trains on and whose experience may be underrepresented.
  • One moment it worked well and one where it failed — both reproduced live during the session.
  • One recommendation: what should change, and who is responsible?

Assessment Criteria: The capstone will be assessed on the quality of reasoning, not on technical accuracy or the complexity of the tool.

12th pass or Above
