Mike Kentz’s Kentz Assessment Method (yes, he does market this tool/training) redefines student evaluation by focusing on the process of thinking rather than traditional outputs, emphasizing AI literacy and metacognitive engagement. His approach involves teaching prompting strategies, guiding students to develop clear AI purpose statements, assessing AI interactions via rubrics, and incorporating reflective exercises that critically evaluate AI-generated content. Rather than resisting AI, Kentz argues for structured, thoughtful engagement to help students develop critical thinking skills in collaboration with AI tools.
