Lesson plan to come:
AI and you: how to use AI in your coursework
Topics to cover could include:
- Ethical considerations – do you want to use AI at all (environmental impacts, privacy concerns, working conditions of trainers, etc.) – privacy = UO’s version of copilot [confirm that it works for students]
- Limitations of AI – what’s still not working and what may never work
- Can you use AI in your classes – how to determine if you’re allowed to use AI at all. (check your syllabus, check your assignment for language explicitly allowing or prohibiting it.)
- Prompts that should work for most situations (as long as you haven’t been forbidden from using it for anything at all)
- Study skills: Ask me 5 questions about this material that could be on a test
- Check logic and flow: Here is my essay so far, make a reverse outline of it. You can see if it’s following a logical flow of ideas.
- Brainstorm: what are 5 (10) controversial topics in this area, write 5 titles for a paper about ___, make them puns
5. Check if this will work?
- Making a citation
- Finding sources
- A search strategy to find articles/books about a topic
6. Tips for fact checking mis and disinformation – what are some things you can try to do to verify a source?
STEM version: tools that could help – from Oregon State [would look for update]
Social Sciences: some of those same tools, other ideas?
Humanities: work with Jeff and others on what could be useful here
