I have used artificial intelligence (AI) in the following ways during my UCF career:
Fall 2023:
ENC1101 (English Composition I): We were asked to use Copilot to:
Brainstorm essay topics
Generate a thesis and critique it
Create an initial outline
Spring 2024:
ENC1102 (English Composition II). We were allowed, but not required, to use an LLM to assist with writing processes. I used ChatGPT 3.5 to:
Generate thesis ideas
Generate outlines (a few different versions)
Write the first paragraph, which was subsequently heavily edited
Summer 2024:
CHM2045 (General Chemistry). I used Copilot to shorten my draft lab reports to the required word limit.
SYG2000 (Sociology). I used Copilot (DALL-E 3) to create multiple images for PowerPoint presentations.
AI use disclosure: Copilot (4/2/2025) was used to create the banner image.
