Pillar

AI and Writing

AI tools are in every dorm room and we will not pretend otherwise. The pieces in this pillar are honest guidance for honest students: what AI detectors actually look for, why real human writing false-positives, what counts as a study aid versus ghostwriting, and how to protect work you wrote yourself from false positives. The framing rule: this is study support and false-positive protection. Submitting AI-generated text as your own work violates standard academic integrity policies regardless of what any tool can do.

What is published already

While the AI and Writing pieces are being written, the following pillars already have material live on the site:

• Essay Craft — practical guidance on writing analytical essays. The opening pieces cover thesis construction, integrating evidence, and the structural moves of close reading.
• Work Guides — close readings of individual literary works, organized at /category/{work}/. Browse Kate Chopin's short stories, A Doll's House, A Midsummer Night's Dream, and other assigned-reading staples.
• Free tools — including a working AI detector demo that gives students a sense of what authenticity detectors look at.
• About the site — what we publish, how we frame academic integrity, and why this archive exists.

When the AI and Writing pieces will land

Each piece in this pillar is being written by editors with real subject-matter familiarity, not generated en masse. We publish in priority order based on what students are most often assigned. If you would like to be notified when a specific piece publishes, the contact page has the editorial team's address.
