About this video
In this video I present an overview of the proper and improper ways to use Large Language Models (often referred to as “artificial intelligence” or “AI”, such as ChatGPT, Claude, etc.) for your Master’s dissertation. I come at this as a former professor, and now the Master’s Degree Expert, with extensive experience supervising postgraduate students and assessing postgraduate work. I explain why using outsourcing most, or all of the work for your dissertation to AI is a critical mistake. Learn how to ethically incorporate AI to enhance your productivity while maintaining academic integrity and your unique scholarly voice.
This countdown series provides you with my expert tips based on my experience of helping many hundreds of Master’s students succeed at top UK universities. Please make sure that you check the guidance and guidelines within your own university as they apply to your Master’s degree programme. Whether you’re just starting your dissertation or feeling overwhelmed partway through, these practical insights will help you stay on track.
