Undercooled: A Materials Education Podcast

Tim and Steve talk with Professor Wenhao Sun about the way he is using Chat GPT in his thermodynamics and kinetics classes.  Wenhao demonstrates how he teaches students to use Chat GPT as a collaborator to solve much harder problems that are usually given to students.  He believes that this lets his students experience the higher levels of Blooms taxonomy and shows how he does this in a live demonstration.

Here is a link to a short video describing Professor Sun's research:  https://youtu.be/cO7jEApzKoo?si=IhcLScABV4H29AeA
