Furman supports a vibrant culture of writing among both students and faculty and  offers resources for writing instruction for a variety of courses and disciplines.  The Writing Program at Furman can assist you with your writing course needs as well as pedagogical support.

More recent advancements in tools like ChatGPT, an interactive, language-based chatbot that can produce well-written text in response to any number of prompts, have caused alarm among educators, especially those that teach writing. Although there are many resources available about this technology and diverging thoughts about what it means for pedagogy, we have curated a small collection of items here that provide overview and commentary, as well as ideas and resources, for adapting your pedagogical approaches in the face of such advancements. You can also stay abreast of current professional learning opportunities about generative AI. Furthermore, please reference this Cheat-Sheet to AI and Academic Integrity in the Classroom at Furman University for more about how our institutional policies account for generative AI technology.
