This course emphasizes the development of academic research and writing skills while urging students to engage with current topics such as how is AI transforming the process of writing, composing, and content creation? What are the ethical implications of using AI in writing? What is the future of work, education, writing, and/or art in the age of AI? What is the future of privacy?

Through collaborative projects, peer reviews, and class discussions, students will learn to articulate their ideas effectively and support their arguments with credible sources.
