Tjakoen Stolk · How I work
AI disclosure
AI writes code in this portfolio, helps me draft what I publish, and proposes grades and feedback in my teaching. I decide what ships, what goes out under my name, and what grade a student receives.
In my projects
I give coding agents a problem, constraints, and a way to check the result. They can write substantial parts of the code, draft tests, and review changes. I set the direction, read the diff and the test results, and decide whether the change is ready. A second AI review can surface something I missed. Approval belongs to a person. The same loop runs my team at work, and I describe it on the leading page.
The project READMEs credit AI assistance. Ten Times Zero Is Still Zero shows what that work looks like, including what I have to bring to it myself.
In my writing
I use AI to find leads, pressure-test an argument, and help draft and edit prose. For factual claims, I go back to the source. When I publish new work, I’ll say on the piece itself if AI drafted it or materially shaped an example or visual.
I asked Codex to look up public AI disclosures and make this page. It drafted the copy and wrote the code. The account of my teaching and project work comes from the pages linked here.
In my teaching
In all my student activities, students document whether they used AI. If they used it, they explain what it did. I check their account against their commits and expect them to explain the work they submit. Each assignment sets the rules for when AI is allowed. I explain those rules in Why I Teach.
My course console shows me AI-drafted grades and feedback alongside the submitted work. I approve, edit, or hold each proposal before anything goes back to a student. The feedback engine skips personal data, and the public console demo uses synthetic student records. See how the grading review works or read about my courses on the teaching page.
What I based this on
I took the idea of a standing disclosure from Jared Cunha’s personal site, the emphasis on describing the tool’s actual role from Kari D. Weaver’s AI Disclosure Framework, and the advice to tell students how their instructor uses AI from CU Boulder’s Center for Teaching & Learning.
If something here or elsewhere on the portfolio leaves you wondering what AI did, ask me.
