    • Critical Artificial Intelligence . ENGL 155AI

    Artificial intelligence now affects nearly all aspects of human life and knowledge production, from labor to language, and from fundamental physics to the arts. The pivotal role of the humanities lies in the critical analysis of the specific cultural techniques emerging from this technical revolution: new methods of language processing, image production, scientific reasoning, and social control require new critical and historical approaches. This course provides an introduction to the history and theory of artificial intelligence from the perspective of the humanities. Participants will acquire the skills to analyze and understand the design and construction of machine learning systems, and their philosophical and political implications.

    ENG10 . Raley R M 1 Year, 5 Months Ago

    Incredibly unhelpful and at times demeaning. Has nothing relevant to say about novels in class, and is a walking "Uhm actually" charicature. Skip her and take literally anyone else.

    ENG10 . Raley R M 2 Years Ago

    Professor Raley was ok, the class itself wasn't hard, it was hard to pay attention. I felt like she treated the class as if it wasn't a GE and we were all English majors. Overall just make sure you have an understanding of the assignments and you'll do good. Also attendance is mandatory for section, and missing more than 2 will affect your grade.

    ENGL10 . Raley R M 2 Years Ago

    The materials and lectures are fine, but the professor really ruined the experience as she counts a total grade around 95 as an A-. Don't have a clear grading scale. Very few students get A. Would recommend to take other professors' Engl10 as Professor Raley really overcomplicated this course.

    ENG10 . Raley R M 3 Years Ago

    I have mixed feelings about Professor Raley. She was super generous, cared about her students, and truly passionate and educated on the material. However, her lectures could be boring and it was as if she spoke in essay format. The class was very different than your average English class, but overall wasn't too bad.
