AI in the Classroom

A Practical Guide for Faculty

by Vincent Jeevar, Ph.D., Ed.D.

This book is written for faculty trying to make sense of artificial intelligence in teaching without losing sight of ethics, academic integrity, or their own identity as educators. Based on real action research and faculty experiences, it offers a practical path for thinking through AI in syllabus design, assignments, grading, class planning, and student preparation for an AI-inclusive workplace.

I wrote it as a practical field guide for those who feel behind and need a manageable way to begin.
