About This Book

When ChatGPT arrived, Robert Klitgaard did what any curious professor would do: he experimented. Then he brought those experiments into his graduate classroom at Claremont Graduate University, testing prompts, observing results, and asking his students to do the same.

Using ChatGPT in Graduate Education is the result — a practical, honest beginner’s guide subtitled “And We’re All Beginners Here.” It covers how to craft effective prompts, how to evaluate AI-generated output critically, how to use ChatGPT to strengthen rather than shortcut research and writing, and what the arrival of these tools means for academic integrity and the future of graduate education.

Freely available as a PDF. Classroom-tested and written for everyone from the skeptical professor to the curious first-year student.
