What You'll Learn
- Use AI to research any topic faster and more thoroughly
- Evaluate sources critically and distinguish reliable from unreliable information
- Analyze information from multiple sources into coherent summaries
- Build effective study materials and learning resources with AI
- Apply active recall and spaced repetition techniques with AI assistance
- Evaluate AI outputs and verify claims independently
Course Syllabus
You’ve got a research paper due in two weeks. Or maybe you need to understand a new industry for a work project. Or perhaps you’re just curious about quantum computing and want to actually understand it, not just skim a Wikipedia article.
In the past, you’d spend hours searching Google, opening 47 tabs, reading paragraphs that don’t quite answer your question, and ending up more confused than when you started.
AI changes everything about how we research and learn–but only if you know how to use it properly. Used poorly, AI gives you confident-sounding nonsense. Used well, it becomes the most powerful research partner you’ve ever had.
This course teaches you the “used well” part. You’ll learn to ask better questions, evaluate what AI tells you, synthesize information from multiple sources, and build learning systems that actually stick.
By the end, you’ll research faster, learn deeper, and never fully trust an unsourced claim again.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need any research experience?
Not at all. This course starts from scratch and builds your research skills step by step. Whether you're a student, professional, or just curious about learning faster, you'll find practical techniques right away.
Can I trust AI for serious research?
That's exactly what this course addresses. You'll learn when to trust AI, when to verify independently, and how to fact-check AI outputs. The goal is to use AI as a research accelerator, not a replacement for critical thinking.
Which AI tools does this course work with?
The techniques work with any AI assistant--ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Copilot, and others. We focus on universal research methods, not specific tools.
How long does the course take?
About 2 hours total at your own pace. Each lesson takes 10-15 minutes.
Will I get a certificate?
Yes! Complete all lessons and pass the quizzes to earn a verifiable certificate of completion.
