The redesign era has begun.\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eGenerative AI didn't create a cheating crisis in higher education. It created an \u003ci\u003eevidence\u003c\/i\u003e crisis. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eWhen any student can produce a polished essay, case analysis, or research report in seconds, the artifacts institutions have long treated as proof of learning no longer prove anything at all. The inferential link between what students produce and what students know has been severed. Not by dishonest students, but by a technology that made producing convincing academic work effortless. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eMost institutions responded the way institutions always respond: they bought tools. AI detection software promised to sort human writing from machine writing and restore the old order. It hasn't worked. Not because the tools aren't clever enough, but because adversarial dynamics guarantee that evasion will always be cheaper, faster, and more accessible than detection. Every improvement in detection triggers a trivial workaround. The arms race is structurally unwinnable, and the institutions investing in it are spending resources and political capital on a strategy that delays the work that actually matters. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eMeanwhile, the real problem goes unaddressed. Assessment systems across higher education were built for cooperative conditions-environments where producing a convincing academic artifact genuinely required the cognitive work that artifact was supposed to represent. That assumption held for decades. It no longer holds. And no amount of detection, no revised rubric, and no AI-acceptable-use policy will make it hold again. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eAssessment Under Adversarial Pressure\u003c\/i\u003e argues that the only durable institutional response is architectural. Not better assignments. Not updated honor codes. Not plagiarism software with a new label. The response is redesigning how evidence of learning is generated, collected, and certified-so that the evidence holds up regardless of what tools students have access to. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe book introduces \u003ci\u003eadversarial assessment\u003c\/i\u003e as a design framework: an approach that treats AI-enabled delegation not as a violation to be policed, but as a permanent condition to be designed around. Drawing on validity theory from educational measurement, adversarial design principles from security engineering, and the most current research available, it provides institutional leaders with a framework for rethinking assessment architecture from the ground up. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eWhat this book covers: \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e- Why detection-based strategies are structurally unwinnable-and why institutions keep pursuing them anyway\u003cbr\u003e- Why the most common assignment redesigns fail under even moderate adversarial pressure\u003cbr\u003e- How adversarial assessment reframes the problem from student behavior to system design\u003cbr\u003e- How to build evidence systems whose trustworthiness comes from conditions, not compliance\u003cbr\u003e- What accreditation bodies are starting to expect-and what their standards still assume\u003cbr\u003e- How to navigate the legal exposure that detection-dependent policies create\u003cbr\u003e- How to sequence institutional change when consensus is slow and the environment moves fast\u003cbr\u003e- Why the real problem was never about AI-it was about evidentiary assumptions that were always fragile \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eWritten for: \u003c\/b\u003e Provosts, deans, assessment directors, accreditation liaisons, institutional effectiveness officers, program directors, faculty senate leaders, department chairs, and graduate students in higher education programs. If your role involves certifying that students have learned what your institution claims they have learned, this book is for you. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThis is not a teaching guide. It is not a technology review. It is not a defense of AI or an attack on students. It is an argument about institutional architecture-and a practical framework for leaders who cannot afford to wait for the next policy cycle to act.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Goran Trajkovski\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9798247536222\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Independently Published\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/09\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 102\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.32lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.21d","brand":"Goran Trajkovski","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48517120459007,"sku":"9798247536222","price":24.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_f30f3bfa-3fdd-4326-9289-0433a8e3807a.jpg?v=1778730037","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/assessment-under-adversarial-pressure-goran-trajkovski-9798247536222","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
