Description

This session explores how generative AI, specifically through prompt engineering, can be leveraged as a powerful tool to cultivate critical thinking in students. Instructors often face the challenge of integrating AI into classrooms without students outsourcing all of their thinking to a generative AI tool. This presentation will outline strategies for using AI through classroom activities, like short stories and style exercises, and practical applications, like memos and reports. These activities serve as a means to deepen students' analytical skills through the development of structured prompts and purposeful revision.
