Grammarly’s report on [The Productivity Shift: Higher Ed Insights](https://go.grammarly.com/l/894581/2025-03-11/5z1wg/894581/17417025804y6CHz51/EXTGrammarly173429SOBCG4ECutReportV1min.pdf), focusing on key trends to help educators guide future graduates through communication overload and responsible AI adoption. It’s by Grammarly and they’ve now adopted AI in a big way, so consider that as a caveat.
LASA offers four signature courses – that are mandatory for all freshmen [Science and Technology (SciTech) and Electronic Magazine (Ezine)] and sophomores [Great Ideas and Planet Earth (Plearth)]. There has been debate internally whether these should be mandatory since they take up two elective slots in those years. I loved reading this pros and cons debate in their student newspaper. After reading it, I’m on the Pro side.
