Novice (Introduction & Awareness)

1. What is AI & Gen AI (for all)

• Simple explanation of AI vs Generative AI.

• Everyday examples (chatbots, translations, images, music).

• Emphasis: AI supports learning, not replaces thinking.

1. Reading, Writing & Thinking First

• Why pen-and-paper note taking is still essential.

• Reading textbooks + listening in class → writing summaries → stronger prompts.

• Link to “Attempt → Hint → Verify → Produce” pledge.

1. Articulation Basics

• Clear writing = clear prompts.

• The chain: read → think → write → articulate → prompt.

Short practice: turn a class note into a 1-sentence AI question.
