Balancing social life, lectures, assignments and personal study was very tough for me. I always struggle to keep up with others until I discovered the right AI tools that are so powerful to assist in every area of my studies.
This post will show you exactly how AI changed my academic
life for better, and I will also show you the best AI tools and their real-life
use cases and the tips to succeed with those tools.
I was average student at higher school but when I entered
university, for the first year, it was normal but the moment I entered second
year, I was always behind on deadlines, and I even suffer to follow some lessons
into details which has resulted my poor performance. I did not even dream of
using any AI tool because I first thought I am not a tech expert to be able to
use those AI tool on the internet.
One day I met a friend of mine who I used to assist in
Higher School, he was helping his colleagues in their assignments, and I was
amazed and later on I had one on one meeting with him before I realized the
power of AI. He told me that I didn’t
need to be a tech expert to be able to us AI to simplify my lectures, just need
the right tools.

AI like ChatGPT and Khanmigo walk me through my notes and
provide best explanations and answers to some past questions. They actually

Limitations and How I Avoid Overusing AI at Campus
Modern educational technologies like AI are very helpful
tools for success in any educational programs but it must be used wisely to
avoid copy work. AI should be used as assist tutor, not total replacement of
human brain.
The use of AI in education raises concerns about plagiarism
and academic honesty which must be given attention when I AI tools is being
used. While AI tools can help in learning efficiently, there is a risk that
students may submit AI-generated content as their own without adding human
touch to the content, and which can violate academic integrity policies.
Balancing AI´s support with personal effort promotes
responsible learning and upholds academic values. I use AI as a personal
assistant.
Always double check to AI-generated contents to reduce the
rate of plagiarism and copy word.
AI tools have not made me the most brilliant student, but
rather more productive, less stressed and more confident in all my academic
works.
