What I found were young people who understand we can tell a story that includes both the positive and the negative. As one 8th grader in Memphis said, “Doesn’t seem that hard, just say both things.”

I'm teaching a new Master's level class that's an introduction to empirical research in Econ & first step toward writing a thesis. I have a thick folder of research to share and "concepts of a plan" to talk about using AI, but does anyone have a syllabus or ideas about teaching a class like this?
