Freie Universität’s AI guidelines (in German) can be found here:
13 – Tue Jan 21 1–2 PM – co-producing texts with the help of ai
Key Session Content:
- Understand the fundamental differences between human writing processes and AI text generation
- Avoid getting trapped in AI-dependent workflows that bypass critical thinking
- Structure your writing process to maximize human insight while critically evaluating potential AI assistance
Core Concepts:
1. Human Writing Process vs. AI Generation - Writing as thinking vs. writing as pattern matching
- The value of struggle and uncertainty
- When clarity emerges through writing process
2. Critical AI Workflows - Identifying when AI seems tempting (language barriers, writer’s block, time pressure)
- Understanding what you lose by outsourcing different parts of writing
- Developing criteria for justified vs. convenient AI use
3. Community-Based Writing Strategies - Building peer support networks
- Collaborative writing and editing practices
- Shared resources and knowledge banks
14 – Tue Jan 28 12–2 PM – improving your text // independent writing time // peer-review
Trade paper drafts and examine them through the lens of AI co-production. Each reviewer should:
- Identify sections where AI assistance might be tempting but would bypass crucial thinking work
- Suggest alternative approaches that maintain intellectual sovereignty
- Find opportunities where limited AI use might be justified by clear social/academic benefit
TASK #7: Critical Writing Process Analysis
After peer reviewing each other’s drafts, submit a reflection (1-2 pages) that:
- Takes 1-2 examples from the papers you reviewed
- Analyzes specific passages where AI tools might be commonly used (e.g., language polishing, transitional phrases, literature summaries)
- Discusses the tradeoffs involved (environmental cost, thinking process, accessibility needs)
- Proposes concrete alternative strategies for addressing writing challenges through peer support and collaborative work
Submit your analysis as a PDF by e-mail from your zedat or @fu-berlin.de address to my email address, using the subject “porcupine”. Deadline Thu Jan 30 6 PM.
