Description
UMGC’s LIBS 150 (Introduction to Research) class incorporated generative AI tools in one assignment. Students use AI to scope and identify keywords to assist with the creation of a research question; they also evaluate Boolean search statements created by AI and modify them to produce better results. LIBS 150 aims to provide a foundational understanding of both the benefits and pitfalls of using AI in an academic setting. UMGC Library’s new Guide for AI, plus feedback collected from students and faculty will be highlighted. Generally, over 2000 students take LIBS 150 each semester; approximately 50 faculty teach the online course.
