OTE Reconstructing the Assessment System of the Undergraduate Course “Plant Physiology” in the AI Era: A Framework for Authentic and AI-Resilient Task Design

The proliferation of generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) has fundamentally challenged the validity of traditional assessments in higher education. In data-rich, laboratory-based disciplines such as undergraduate plant physiology, conventional product-heavy assessments—like essay writing and closed-book examinations—often fail to capture underlying scientific reasoning and are highly susceptible to GenAI simulation. Drawing upon frameworks of constructive alignment, evaluative judgment, an
