How is Berkeley's Reading and Composition (R&C) requirement, originally established in 1919, complicated by AI’s entrance into the classroom? What new challenges do teachers of writing face in the age of AI? Now that this writing technology is in the hands of our students, how do we reapproach teaching courses aimed at providing them with the writing skills they need to succeed in college?

AI has been greeted on the Berkeley campus by a vigorous debate reflecting a variety of perspectives and values. Our symposium — the third in a series dedicated to a fresh examination of Berkeley's R&C requirement — offers a space for faculty, graduate student instructors, and other interested parties to discover and discuss inventive writing pedagogical practices and philosophies, both for and against the use of AI.
