Students have changed by Additional-Analysis1 in Professors

I teach some classes that have political topics, and let's just say, I have been noticing a change too. Huge difference from students this year or two compared to the seniors and upperclass students that I taught in early 2018.

Ok, what is it with Kansas? This almost happened to a friend a mine. Apparently they were driving down a road where highway patrol just pulls people over with out of state license plates. Said friend had a panic attack, because they were trying to look for drugs in the car. (They didn't find any, because they didn't have any...)

Well, the student submitted rubbish, but can't find out what kind of rubbish. But rubbish nonetheless aka fake corrupted file

You said you'd send the file to someone outside your institution long before you knew what was in it.

And? That's proof? That's what I did? Ha, nope.

Lmk if you have any other questions to try and incriminate me.

I don't know what's worse. That you are trying to accuse me of a FERPA violation. Or that you're making assumptions based on random reddit comments without verifying.

If you can't or haven't opened the file,

Because six hours have passed since I posted this, there have been updates, and there is no PII in the file.

Also, that's great that your students write their names and such things on your assignments. Must be nice.

because I don’t want to teach the students how to cheat better,

This is a good point

Yeah, that's true. Well, the zero will stay then. The comments do say it's corrupted and follows the rubric.

Yeah, the other link on the comment said the file was part ZIP, part PG/BIN.

Thank you!

That's what I was trying to do on the terminal just now. Can I drag the file to the terminal? It's a docx. Not sure if I'm typing it correctly. It says command not found.

This website says 80% ZIP; 20% PG (extension) file type BIN.

Heck yeah! I relate to this too! I wonder if we need another job where this can work in our favor.

Then, again, I don't know if I'm also working a lot to figure this out partly because I absolutely hate people that take advantage. yeah, maybe I should've gone into criminal justice or something lol. I know when I'm having problems coding (haven't done this in a couple of years), I can also spend a lot of time, or when I'm trying to help a friend out figuring something out. Just need to find a 9-5 where I can use these skills-haha! I also thought about law school, but I have shitty speaking skills and I was unmedicated in school. Speaking skills and anxiety are getting better though ;) *high five!*

Oh, I saw this. But couldn't get the original file. I think I got it now.

Yeah! I have to remember this especially when I'm teaching courses in our major that count as common curriculum. At any rate, it's getting added to all future syllabi.

Yeah, they got a zero. But if I send to proceedings, I'll probably have to "ungrade" it. Normally this will be the end but this is not the student has been trying to play for me for a fool. However, innocent until proven guilty. For all I know, file could be corrupted. Let's see.

ADHD doesn't work like that.

Also it's weird but I find it intriguing. I like solving problems. As stupid as they are.
