The Maroon spoke with students and professors about how the humanities Core has adapted its classrooms and coursework following technology bans in Core classes and University-wide access to the Claude suite of LLMs.
All social science Core classes will transition to an “analog” approach for the upcoming academic year, restricting in-classroom technology use and banning AI-assisted writing and grading for students and professors.
The new Core writing course Inquiry, Conversation, Argument—which will be taken by approximately half of first-years in the 2026–27 school year—will also become a prerequisite for social science Core courses starting in autumn 2027.
The new iteration of the sequence, which will survey Western civilization from the ancient world to the European Union, resurrects a once-flagship College course that was condensed in 2002 after an overhaul of the Core Curriculum.
As the new quarter approaches and students select classes, the Maroon Editorial Board asks how beneficial our Core classes are to the UChicago experience.
