AI-Proofing Your Degree: Mastering Prompting for Academic Success

Workshop Description

University life is changing fast. With AI tools like ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude and many more becoming part of everyday studying, South African universities are shifting their focus toward ethical use, critical thinking, and authentic assessment. The real question is no longer “Should you use AI?” but “Do you know how to use it correctly?”

In this high-impact 2-hour online workshop, AI-Proofing Your Degree, students will learn how to turn AI into a powerful academic partner rather than a shortcut that risks their integrity. Through live demonstrations and practical prompting techniques, you’ll discover how to study faster, understand difficult concepts, and structure assignments without falling into academic misconduct.

This session is designed specifically for university and college students navigating heavy workloads, tight deadlines, and increasing academic pressure. You’ll learn how to ask better questions, generate high-quality study materials, and use AI to strengthen your thinking instead of replacing it.

What you will learn:

  • How AI is reshaping university learning and assessment in 2026
  • The difference between ethical and risky AI use in academic work
  • How to write powerful prompts that improve studying and understanding
  • How to use AI for revision, practice questions, summaries, and exam preparation
  • A simple framework for using AI without violating academic integrity rules
  • How to build a smart, sustainable AI-assisted study system

By the end of the workshop, you’ll know how to confidently use AI as a study tool that improves your marks, sharpens your thinking, and supports your academic growth—without putting your degree at risk.

Perfect for students who want to work smarter, not harder, in the age of AI.
