According to the American Association of Colleges and Universities in “A Student Guide to Artificial Intelligence,” “AI won’t take your job. It’s someone using AI who will take your job.” The Department of English and Modern Languages in the College of Arts and Sciences offers a new special topics course this semester, ENG390: Rhetorics of Generative AI, with several spots still available for students!
On Tuesdays and Thursdays, from 2:10 p.m. to 3:25 p.m., in A423 (CRN: 48614), students will:
- Practice Prompt Engineering through techniques like the persona pattern, flipped interaction, and cognitive verifier.
- Edit their own writing and the writing of others (ethically!) using platforms like Google Gemini, ChatGPT/GPT-4, and Microsoft CoPilot.
- Delve deeply into the ethical and legal implications of generative AI across personal and professional situations.
- Develop a portfolio of prompts and responses for internship and job applications.
The only prerequisite is having taken WRT110. This course satisfies the ITL requirement for all A&S students and the requirement for English majors to take a language, professional writing, or grammar course.
