Tone Calibration Prompting for Academic Register
Academic registers have specific conventions—formal distance, passive voice in certain disciplines, particular vocabulary—and you can prompt AI to match your professor's exact style by showing it a few examples of their writing. This transforms AI from generic-sounding to department-appropriate, which matters more than most students realize for credibility.
