Waitlist Option for Cross-listed Courses

by advising＠lists.it.utsa.edu

Hello, I wanted to share that students should now have the option to waitlist for a cross-listed section of a course when it fills. This functionality wasn't available in the new class schedule in prior terms. Some sections/courses (even for non-cross-listed courses) may not have a waitlist based on certain exclusionary criteria<https://nam11.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.uts...> on the Registrar website. Some non-cross-listed sections for Fall 2023 did not have waitlists enabled earlier this week, but they have been added as well. Matt D.

ChatGPT/Generative AI Online Seminar

by advising＠lists.it.utsa.edu

Hello, All! April 5 is almost here. Just writing to spread the word about an upcoming online seminar being hosted through UTSA Professional and Continuing Education (PaCE). The Title is: Leveraging Text-Based Generative AI For Professional Writing. I think this is a subject that anyone working in any industry can benefit from knowing more about. What is ChatGPT and Generative AI? Paraphrasing Wikipedia: The core function of a chatbot is to mimic a human conversationalist communicating via text. However, this first iteration of ChatGPT is more versatile than that: it can write and debug computer programs, compose music, teleplays, fairy tales, and student essays; answer test questions (sometimes, depending on the test, at a level above the average human test-taker); write poetry and song lyrics; emulate a Linux system; simulate an entire chat room; play games like tic-tac-toe. One concern among educators is that students will use ChatGPT to do their homework for them. Ryan McPherson, a professor of practice within UTSA College of Liberal and Fine Arts, will be presenting. There will be two presentation dates: April 5 and April 11. The time for both is 1 PM central. The cost is $95. Here’s the link to learn more and to register: https://www.campusce.net/utsa/course/course.aspx?catId=136 Please pass this along to anyone you think might be interested. Thanks for your help! Thanks!
