One reason students take AI shortcuts isn't laziness—it's overwhelm.

When we ask students to revise, we either give them vague feedback or a 50-item checklist. Both are paralyzing.

I just discovered Mark Forster's FVP system and decided to try it.

Students get the full checklist (or create one as a group) but work through it asking: "Do I want to work on THIS more than the last task I marked?"

They dot their way down based on what feels manageable right now, then tackle the last dotted item. 5-10 minutes, cross it off, start again.

It separates the cognitive load of deciding from the cognitive load of doing.

Students can then revise—not perfectly, not in order, but engaged with their own work instead of outsourcing to AI.

Sometimes the solution to AI overreliance isn't better detection. It's better task design.
