See the transcript for this episode.

Guests: Madison & Margaret, L&S Students

We launch our short series exploring AI at UW-Madison with a snapshot of the student learning experience. We hear from two L&S undergraduate students, Madison and Margaret, who share their thoughts around adjusting to college, connecting with other students and instructors, and the influence of AI. How do these students think about learning? And how is AI shaping their educational experience? Listen for insights from students and consider how they might inform your teaching practice.
