What is it?
CRITI is a plugin for ChatGPT that helps students develop critical thinking skills when preparing homework. Today, many students use ChatGPT when doing homework. They write in Chat the question they were asked in class and copy the Chat's answer to the notebook automatically, without processing the information, casting doubt, or critical thinking. CRITI has an interface for teachers and an interface for students. The teacher interface helps teachers to clarify the question, provide specific content, and challenge the student while the student interface helps them develop critical thinking skills by increasing their involvement in creating the answer. Using CRITI turns the student from passive to active and the teacher is an important partner who directs homework preparation.

How does it work?How Does It Work?
The teacher interface allows the teacher to update specific requirements for the assignment, for example: the length of the assignment and the submission date. In addition, the interface allows adding reliable websites to expand knowledge and a bonus question specific to the assignment. When the student uses ChatGPT, a robotic figure appears on the side of the Chat and immediately after receiving the first answer asks him "Did you read the answer?". Based on the student's answer, CRITI asks "Does the answer match the material the teacher taught in class?". CRITI offers the student to expand his knowledge and the answer of the Chat by reading content on reliable websites recommended by the teacher. CRITI also asks the students a bonus question, which motivates them to continue using CRITI. If he answers correctly, he gets bonus points for the assignment.
