Student starter

Guided course for new to ai. 8 lessons, about 6 h 15 min.

For students who want to use AI confidently in their coursework, without shortcuts that backfire. Each lesson takes 30–60 minutes: read a short section at a time, ask the tutor about anything unclear, try it yourself, then pass a quick check. The tutor sits beside every lesson; use it as much as you like.

By the end, you'll be able to

Unit 1: How AI works

Start with a working mental model. Once you know that a model predicts likely text, most of its strengths and failures stop being surprising.

Unit 2: Using AI well

Now put it to work. You'll set up an assistant, learn to brief it properly, and build the checking habit that separates good use from risky use.

Unit 3: Making it yours

Apply what you've learned to your writing and your major, and decide where the lines are. This unit is about judgment as much as technique.

Capstone project: Your AI study kit for one course

Pick a course you're taking this term and build a small, honest kit for using AI in it: what you'll use it for, the prompts that work, how you'll check its output, and where you won't use it.
