Student Workshop: Machine Minds and Human Hands, What AI Can and Can't Write

Machine Minds and Human Hands: What AI Can (and Can't) Write

When: Wednesday, February 11, 2026, 11:30am to 12:20pm
Where: BH 429

Through a series of hands-on experiments, this interactive workshop examines the capabilities and limitations of AI-generated text. Participants will explore how predictive algorithms differ from human cognition, why chatbots excel at stylistic imitation yet falter with emotional depth and complexity, and what happens when prompts are poorly constructed.  Through interactive exercises, participants will experiment with 鈥渂roken prompts,鈥 compare human and machine writing in persona-driven challenges, and hunt down AI hallucinations.  Along the way, we鈥檒l discuss what works, what fails, and why it matters.

Presented by: Joseph Kane, Visiting Assistant College Lecturer in the First-Year Writing Program 

Writing Effective Prompts Workshop

Writing Effective Prompts

When: Tuesday, March 3, 2026, 11:30am to 12:30pm
Where: Zoom

This session introduces faculty and staff to the core principles of writing effective prompts for generative AI tools, with a focus on clarity, structure, and intent. Participants will learn practical prompting strategies that reduce iteration time, improve output quality, and support responsible academic use of AI. Through guided examples and hands-on practice, attendees will leave with techniques they can apply immediately in their teaching, service, and daily workflows.

Hosted by: The Center for Faculty Excellence and Michael Schwartz Library

Workshop: Using AI Without Outsourcing Your Mind

Copilot, Not Autopilot: Using AI Without Outsourcing Your Mind

When: Thursday, March 19, 2026, 11:30am to 12:20pm
Where: BH 429

This session explores the crucial inflection point, the moment you decide whether or not to use AI. We鈥檒l dive into how students can integrate AI responsibly while maintaining critical thinking, honoring class policies, navigating ethical dilemmas, and protecting personal privacy. Learn strategies for using AI as a thoughtful partner, not a substitute for your own mind.

Presented by: 脕ngel L. Reyes-Rodr铆guez, Ph.D. Senior Assistant Dean, Academic Success and Enhancement and David W. Haas, M.A., Assistant Dean of Students

AI: Using Assessing, and Citing

AI: Using, Assessing, and Citing

When: Thursday, April 2 from 11:30-12:20 
Where: Berkman Hall 429

Everywhere we look we see AI in the news and in advertisements, but how do we choose to use it in our academic life? There are a multitude of AI tools as well as a variety of ethics and quality questions to consider as well, so how do we know what to pick and how to properly apply it to our situations? This interactive workshop will give you a variety of currently free AI options to think about using, how to frame prompts, assess the outputs, and use ethically with an end focus on proper citing.

Presented by: Rachel Rickel, Visiting Assistant College Lecturer in the First-Year Writing Program 

Authentic Assessment Workshop

Authentic Assessments and AI

When: Tuesday, April 28, 2026, 11:30am to 12:30pm
Where: Zoom

This workshop explores authentic assessments that align well with the presence and use of generative AI. Rather than using AI to create assessments, this session focuses on crafting meaningful learning experiences that remain relevant and effective in an AI-enhanced classroom. Participants will consider practical examples across disciplines, reflect on how AI may be impacting their current assignments, and leave with adaptable strategies for strengthening academic integrity and student engagement.
