Summary #1

The First Year Writing Course is unneccesay because grammar errors and writing style can be molded through the help of AI.

Getting rid of the first year required writing course allows professors to spend more time on the actual content of the class

Summary 2

Learning “how” to write is unnecessary with the current growth of artificial intelligence and its ability to do that for us. However, students should still be writing in order to enhance their knowledge of topics that matter to them.

Considering the formulaic writing style of middle and high school English courses, it seems unnecessary to force college students to do the same especially when professors have much more to read. This is exacerbated by the fact that most college essays in FYCs are graded heavily on grammar and structure which, due to AI, should not be of students' concern.

FYC courses should be eliminated, because AI is able to also apply the same formula as the writing course, allowing writing skills to change and work alongside new technology.
