HIA 230
Learn how to use AI to plan, draft, revise, and improve professional writing while keeping the point, voice, and judgment recognizably yours.
AI can speed up writing, but the draft still needs a clear point, sound structure, and human judgment. HIA 230 teaches you how to plan, draft, revise, and improve the work without losing your voice.
Turn rough ideas into a clear outline before you start drafting.
Get to a useful first draft in less time.
Improve clarity, precision, and tone while keeping the writing recognizably yours.
Move through the draft with a clear purpose at each stage. Select a step to see how the work changes.
Identify what needs to improve before you start rewriting.
This seminar is for professionals who want a faster writing process without lowering the standard of the finished work.
Learn how to use AI before, during, and after drafting to make your writing clearer and stronger.
Learn how to spot padded sentences, bland phrasing, repeated structures, and other patterns that make AI-assisted writing sound generic.
Learn how to tell AI what needs to change, what should stay intact, and what the finished text should sound like.
Learn how to preserve your point, request, context, and level of directness while improving the writing.
Learn when to ask AI for proofreading, tightening, tone checks, options, or a rewrite that still sounds like you.
Longer writing needs a different process than an email or short update. Learn how to clarify the point, build the outline, draft section by section, and keep the piece from drifting.
Learn how to review and diagnose the draft before you start rewriting it.
HIA 230 draws on professional use of AI for emails, reports, proposals, policies, and other work products. The seminar focuses on producing stronger drafts while protecting the point, voice, and quality of the final piece.
Start by learning the patterns AI tends to repeat. It can over-polish, over-explain, reuse the same sentence shapes, default to bland business language, and give minor points the same weight as important ones.
HIA 230 teaches you how to spot those patterns and revise them before they flatten your voice or weaken the point.
No. The seminar is designed for professionals who write as part of their work, not only people who identify as writers.
You’ll learn practical ways to use AI to shape ideas, improve drafts, check tone, and make the final piece clearer.
AI can help with the writing process, but you still need to decide whether the output is clear, accurate, appropriately direct, and worth sending.
Yes, if you use AI the right way. AI can help you get unstuck, organize rough thoughts, create a first draft, tighten a message, or review a longer piece. That can save a lot of time.
But the value is more than speed. It is getting to a usable draft faster without creating extra cleanup later. A fast bad draft is still a bad draft.
Sometimes. AI can produce writing that looks polished, organized, and finished, but polish does not guarantee clarity, specificity, accuracy, or usefulness.
HIA 230 teaches you how to review the draft against the standard the work actually needs to meet.
Yes. Longer writing is one of the places where AI can help a lot, but only if you use the right process.
A report, proposal, article, policy, or course module needs more structure than a short message. If AI drafts the whole piece too early, the document can become coherent on the surface while drifting from the actual point.
HIA 230 teaches you how to establish the point, outline the structure, draft section by section, and catch drift before it spreads through the document.
Yes. Email is also where small changes in tone or directness can alter the message quickly.
A vague request to “clean it up” can soften the ask, remove useful directness, add filler, or change the sender’s tone.
HIA 230 teaches you how to ask for the right kind of help: proofreading, tightening, tone checks, options, or a rewrite that still sounds like you.
