AI for Students

A course for school and university students on using AI without losing the ability to think. It covers what actually happens to memory when the model does the work, how to get unstuck rather than finished, how to make it quiz you, how to check a citation exists, writing with it without losing your voice, why detectors do not work, and revision that survives an exam hall with no AI.

1. 1Two Kinds of Help7 minAfter a study session, ask what changed: the document, or you.
2. 2What Happens To Your Memory8 minThe tutor that gave answers raised practice scores and lowered exam scores; the one that gave hints did neither harm.
3. 3Getting Unstuck, Not Getting Finished8 minAsk for the smallest hint that lets you continue, then finish it yourself.
4. 4Make It Quiz You7 minA model that asks you questions is worth more than one that answers them.
5. 5Research, And Sources That Exist8 minNever cite a source you have not opened. Asking the model if it is real does not count.
6. 6Writing With It Without Losing Your Voice8 minIf the first draft is not yours, everything after is editing someone else's argument.
7. 7The Rules, And Why Detectors Do Not Work9 minDetectors measure how typical your writing is, not who produced it; keep a process record instead.
8. 8Revision That Survives The Exam Hall8 minStudy under the conditions of the test: silent, timed, blank paper, nothing to ask.
9. 9The Honest Case For Still Learning It9 minYou cannot supervise what you cannot do, and supervision is the job that is left.
