The full version of this book contains plans of study for twenty introductory courses in the humanities—this one, just Archaeology. Each course includes a description, a set of learning objectives for all eight weeks, assignments (including readings and videos) as well as guiding questions and an essay question for each of the weeks, and a final exam. ChatGPT is your tutor and evaluator all the way through.

What you get

The full version of this book is over 250 pages long, and you get both a PDF file and an equivalent EPUB file. With this free preview version, you get a PDF file containing the first two overview chapters and the Archaeology course.

The first chapter provides background on the humanities and a general description of how to take a class with ChatGPT as your instructor. It's a new, and amazing, experience.

Chapter 2 provides detailed instructions and shows examples of how a student might work with ChatGPT during a course. You are free to use it however you want; these are just examples to get you started.

The rest of the book is divided into ten periods, with each period containing two separate courses. The idea is that you could work through each period in 8–10 weeks, and in two years, you would be done with the humanities. Or, you can pick and choose classes as you'd like. It's up to you. In this free version, again, you get the Archaeology class (from Period 4).

Here are the periods as defined in the book:

Literature and Western Civilization
Philosophy and Art History
Religious Studies and Anthropology
Archaeology and Linguistics
Classics and Cultural Studies
Gender Studies and Political Science
Sociology and Psychology
Geography and Media Studies
Music Appreciation and Theater Studies
Film Appreciation and Creative Writing

The structure of each course is as follows:

A motivational introduction
A description of the course as you would find in the course catalog
An overview of the 8-week course of study
For each week: a descriptive and motivational text overview, digital resources, guiding questions, and an essay question to submit to ChatGPT
A final exam

Frequently asked questions

You’ve got questions. We’ve got answers.

Is there a refund policy?

No, but there are free preview versions of the book for your perusal. For every book on our site, we will always have a free preview. If you have doubts as to whether or not the book will be what you want, then please download the free version first.

How is the item delivered?

You get the download right at checkout.

Will there be updates in the future?

I'm sure that I will eventually update all of the books, but they will be new, separate books. However, if you or others find errors in the books, then I will update them as soon as I can. I will use the newsletter to notify everyone of the updates.

How long will I have access

I have no plans to ever take down any of the books from the website. And, as long as you have the digital file in your possession, then you will have access to the information. It is yours to keep.

Do I have to use ChatGPT?

You do not. But it is amazing, and I have found it to be significantly better than the other large language models. YMMV.

Do I have to get the paid version of the AI chat tool?

You do not. And, if I were you, I wouldn't get a subscription until I determined that I would continue with the class. I would suggest, however, that you should get a subscription to ChatGPT and get familiar with it in your daily life as soon as you can.
