Fall 2025 Faculty Reading Community (FRC)

Event Description

Join fellow faculty and CTL staff for sustained cross-disciplinary conversation on critical topics in teaching and learning.

The featured book for the Fall 2025 Faculty Reading Community will be The Opposite of Cheating: Teaching for Integrity in the Age of AI by Tricia Bertram Gallant and David A. Rettinger. From the publisher’s website: In these days of an ever-expanding internet, generative AI, and term paper mills, students may find it too easy and tempting to cheat, and teachers may think they can’t keep up. What’s needed, and what Tricia Bertram Gallant and David A. Rettinger offer in this timely book, is a new approach—one that works with the realities of the twenty-first century, not just to protect academic integrity but also to maximize opportunities for students to learn. The Opposite of Cheating presents a positive, forward-looking, research-backed vision for what classroom integrity can look like in the GenAI era, both in cyberspace and on campus. Accordingly, the book outlines workable measures teachers can use to better understand why students cheat and to prevent cheating while aiming to enhance learning and integrity.

Participants are required to attend 4 of 5 meetings. Faculty will receive a print copy of the book courtesy of the CTL. Seats are limited.

Meeting Mode and Time: The Faculty Reading Community will meet in person on the Danforth Campus, at 10-11am on the following Mondays: Sept 15, 29; Oct 13, 27; and Nov 10.

The Fall 2025 reading community will be facilitated by Natalie Monzyk, Assistant Director of Educational Technology, and Elina Salminen, Assistant Director of Educational Development.
