Entry Events

Events that will be used to introduce the project to students

AI Study Buddy Announcement

Students receive an email from the university president announcing a new AI 'study buddy' that will be available to all students. The AI is designed to help with studying, writing, and research, but some students worry about its impact on academic integrity and critical thinking. Students must evaluate the AI's effectiveness and propose guidelines for responsible use.
