it’s not AI that’s going to take your job, it’s people who know how to use AI that are going to take your jobs，Our critical thinking program shows you how to use AI well: we train you to think critically, verify claims, and distinguish evidence from noise—so you can use AI with judgment and integrity, not blind trust.

For many students, AI is now part of everyday study life: it can search, summarize, draft, and even generate presentations in seconds. The temptation is clear—use AI as a shortcut to finish homework, tests, and projects faster. But this creates two urgent questions for families and schools: Do grades still reflect real ability? And can “good results” still be trusted as evidence of competence?

response
We do not oppose AI; we teach students to use it correctly so that it becomes an amplifier, not a shortcut. The hinge is critical thinking and academic integrity.
In PPE100, the goal is not to ban AI, but to help students become the kind of learners who can say: “I know when and how to use this tool—and when I must rely on my own judgment.”

Applied Review question
Now that AI is strong at retrieval and drafting, the real differentiator is the ability to ask a good question—one without a ready-made answer, scoped to a context, grounded in evidence, and capable of opening further inquiry. Only with sound questioning can students use AI properly rather than be led by it.

online writing workshops
Through participation in the online writing workshops, students become fluent in the principles of effective prompting, source triangulation, and the ethical dimensions of generative output — cultivating the necessary judgment to navigate machine-assisted writing with academic integrity.
