UniSIG – Teaching students to think about legal, ethical and intellectual implications of AI use in academic writing

SENSE member Dr Kate McIntyre, the academic editor in the Department of Genetics at the University Medical Center Groningen, will discuss her experiences lecturing on AI tool use in academic writing within the UMCG’s PhD writing course. She will explain some of the messages she shares with students and how she frames them. This will give us an opportunity to discuss her approach and whether it can be used in other teaching contexts.

Registration for this Zoom meeting will close on Thursday 18 June at 18:00 CEST, and the link to the Zoom meeting will be emailed to everyone who registered.
