Course Reading Refresh
Weekly course reading list updates: new papers, news stories, case studies and datasets that update your syllabus, each mapped to the week it refreshes.
Built for instructors keeping a course reading list current between terms.
Why this work is hard
Instructors keeping a course's readings current between terms spend hours on this by hand: finding the right sources, reading them, checking them against each other and writing up what matters. The work is repetitive, it is easy to miss something, and nobody can show where a claim came from.
Course Reading Refresh does that work as a GREP AI agent. It runs weekly and delivers each edition without you asking. Every run delivers a formatted brief, with every claim linked to its source.

Can I change what Course Reading Refresh does?
Yes. Every GREP AI agent can be cloned into your workspace, where you can edit its instructions, add your own sources and files, and change its schedule.
Does it flag problems with readings I already assign?
Yes. Add your current readings and it checks them for retractions, corrections, expressions of concern, replications and direct challenges published in the window.
How does it match difficulty to my course?
Intro and undergraduate courses get accessible reviews, short empirical papers, quality journalism and clean datasets. Graduate and seminar courses get primary research, working papers and methods debates.
Are preprints and paywalls labeled?
Yes. Every preprint and working paper is labeled not peer-reviewed, and every item gets an access note such as open access, free with registration or paywalled.
