Be ready to tell the class if you agree or disagree and explain why.

2. Present the debate
Show that there are different opinions.
+
3. State your opinion clearly
Directly answer the question.

In my opinion, AI can make students smarter, provided that they use it to develop their understanding rather than simply generate answers.
