Abstract

The rapid integration of artificial intelligence (AI) in higher education has created both challenges and opportunities, prompting a need to rethink traditional approaches to assessment. This presentation explores the redesign of assessment methods in the undergraduate course Marketing Communications, with a focus on fostering genuine skill development rather than over-reliance on AI tools.The redesigned assessment strategy includes a diverse set of components: multiple-choice tests, analytical case assignments, reports, and video submissions. Students also participate in oral defenses and develop an elevator pitch in place of a traditional slide-based presentation. Emphasis is placed on strengthening students? ability to justify and defend their approaches, enhancing soft skills, and engaging with marketing communication in a dynamic, practice-oriented manner.Findings from a student survey conducted at the end of the course are presented, demonstrating how this approach supports active participation, deepens conceptual understanding, and promotes independent thinking in a learning environment increasingly influenced by AI. The study contributes to the ongoing discussion of how assessment design can evolve to ensure meaningful learning outcomes in the age of intelligent technologies.
