The Assignment Makeover Manual

a step-by-step guide to redesign assignments for the AI age

The Manual is the working companion to the Assignment Makeover framework. The framework page explains the four steps. The Manual shows you how to do each one, with worked examples, templates, and rubrics you can use right away.


This Manual is for You if:

  • You’ve tried AI detection software and realized it doesn't solve the problem.
  • You are tired of guessing whether a submission is authentic student work or an AI prompt.
  • You want to redesign your curriculum but don't have hours to spend analyzing tech trends.
  • You firmly believe the real solution is better assignment design, not more policing.
