"Writing in the Age of ChatGPT"

ChatGPT and its kin are here to stay. What does it mean to be a student writer in the age of generative AI? This fast-paced online class, for 10th-12th graders only, is designed to teach writing students when and how to use ChatGPT as a tool in the writing process rather than just as a shortcut to a finished product. Instruction blends compositional strategies for academic writing with techniques specific to using generative AI.

In this class, we will be experimenting with prompt engineering; comparing generative AI tools and AI-generated outputs; fact checking AI-produced information; conducting outside research; enriching writing with details absent from generic AI-generated output; and creating original essays with support materials, including outlines, process papers, and annotated bibliographies.

Over the course of 10 weeks, students will complete five essays, all of which will receive detailed feedback appropriate to advanced high school/college level writing.

Enrollment in this class is limited to six students per semester. Live classes will be held on Zoom; additional one-on-one work may be conducted asynchronously.

$325 for the 10-week online class

"The content and instruction was fantastic! [My son] had never used Chat GPT before so it was a great introduction on what it is, how he can utilize it, and what its limitations are."
