Exactly! Like, everything i'm doing is about making sure they get through this just in general okay, but also hopefully with some interesting and useful extras
Yeah, a LOT of kids read it this way. It's a thing that high schools really need to start prepping them for
Honestly, I try to clarify that at the beginning, but I might have to start reiterating it through out. Thinking about how many kid today hear "office hours" and think "parent's working time while we're all at home"
That;s not what i meant and he knows it.
Yep! It hits the same place as literal Mozart suites, for a lot of people.
If teachers and nurses and department admins are doing God's work, then ol' omipredicate needs to give me and my homies a raise
That pearl collection of his always did seem a bit suspicious
All grades in except for the ones for the students from whom I'm waiting to hear back, and they have until 11:55am to let me know what's up. Time for a snack and a couple hours' nap.
Then God needs to give me and my homies a raise 😂
Some of them believe me, and let me know when they need help. And then I can help them.
This is the root of it: There's going to be a moment, not too far off, when they try some version of this and very real, maybe life ruinous consequences come down the pipe for them. I'm trying to be their gentlest, firmest chance at a course correction
This is exactly it. I start and end every day of class with some version of, "if you have any questions, or if you need ANYTHING, please just let me know."
When you make me screencap it rather than just copping to it, you've already hit the utter limit of what I'm going to put up with, and you're really not going to like what happens next.

Have hit the "compassionate rage" stage of grading/email responses.

youtu.beOh no, not at all. It's just… a truly infuriating situation
…buddy I cannot stress enough that YOU in PARTICULAR absolutely Do Not want to be emailing me to ask about when grades get posted.
No doubt about it: KMFDM sucks
It's not "post-plagiarism" it's "post-bothering-to-care-about-plagiarism" and it really blows
It's not "post-plagiarism" it's "post-caring-about-plagiarism"
oh this is going to fuck over so many people, do not do this
A judge from a local court recently spoke in an interpreting and language access committee meeting, complaining that they were having trouble filling their interp jobs and threatening to use “AI” in hearings. Shit is getting so far out of hand
And maybe they would come out with some truly off-the-wall, left-field shit, but at least I'd know they were THINKING ABOUT IT and TRYING
Literally the first three weeks of m class are about exactly this. They don't care.
What the ACTUAL FUCK? It absolutely IS against most conduct codes I can think of. It's just copying work. That's like… the most fundamental basic version of cheating. What the FUCK.
The whole paradigm of "Generative AI" is just the with-extra-computer-steps version of the right-wing chuds' "make them waste energy trying to argue in good faith or be demoralized enough to sink to our level" playbook, and it fucking SUCKS.
Sam Altman failed ever philosophy class he ever took and decided to make that everyone else's problem.
Not by making philosophy or any of the humanities "obsolete" or w/etf but by making our work just an unimaginable nightmare slog we just explode with rage.
Just typical basic bitch troll bullshit

See, this? The time crunch? I don't care about. I've done this, back in undergrad, and know it *can* be done without cheating.
Yeah, but they DON'T. I just get angrier and angrier AT THEM for making me do it. UGH
Exactly this. Like, I go out of my way to make assignments actually interesting and even fun, and this is the shit they're doing now? How about you save us all the goddam hassle and JUST DON'T TAKE MY FUCKING CLASS.

I had students this year use an off brand ChatGPT for a discussion post on their favorite movie that involved infectious diseases. It was, basically, a free assignment I gave them. There was, literally, no wrong answer and it was meant to be fun, and yet…
This. This right here. What the living shit.
Yeah, but now I doubt EVERYONE and I'm FAR LESS LIKELY to be a generous reader
…Literally didn't even bother to remove them mention and age of their classmate's kid in one response they stole.

Like… They're technically weekly reflections, but they literally have until the end of the semester to turn these in, if they want. That's like a DOZEN WEEKS they could have been thinking on some of these. What the actual hell.

This is the 2nd semester where i've had someone just straight-up copy & then lightly reword their classmates' discussion posts. Are some of y'all not reading these assignments? Is that why they think they can get away with this shit? Really testing my good faith/benefit of the doubt tendencies, here
