課程概述

This introductory course aims to develop students’ proficiency in English writing and using AI tools, such as ChatGPT and Writefull, to facilitate their writing process. While ChatGPT has revolutionized higher education, concerns about compromising research ethics have also emerged. Therefore, this course aims to help students understand how to use AI writing tools effectively and develop countermeasures to tackle issues of AI-generated texts. It consists of three major components: (1) AI-generated Texts: Paragraphs & Essays, (2) Self-editing Strategies, and (3) Writing Ethics.

In this writing course, students will have the opportunity to develop their writing skills and gain practical experience using AI tools through a range of hands-on activities, including collaborative writing, revision exercises, peer review, and essay commentary. They will gain practical experience in crafting prompts that elicit the desired responses from AI writing tools, as well as in refining and optimizing their prompts based on feedback and evaluation. By the end of the course, students will have acquired a comprehensive set of writing skills and knowledge of AI writing tools, which will enable them to write in an effective and ethical manner.
