Dr. Anderson introduces a mandatory module designed to teach students how to responsibly integrate AI tools into the technical research writing process. Rather than using a large language model (LLM) to generate an entire paper, students will be following a "chicken nuggeted" approach that breaks a research project into distinct phases—such as crafting a hypothesis with a tool called Marlo, discovering literature, and synthesizing data
. While this specific exercise is required to ensure everyone understands the technology's potential for data discovery, Dr. Anderson emphasizes that students are free to "mix and match" or entirely reject these tools for future assignments if they do not align with their personal writing style or ethical standards
. Finally, he highlights that all the recommended AI tools are freely available, ensuring that students do not need to pay for premium versions to complete their work
