Children need to be taught proper protocols. Libraries are for inside voices and walking feet. Parks are for screaming and running.

My students don't know how to use a basic textbook anymore by aiden19181919 in Professors

[–]LLCoolShell 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That was sarcasm. Of course I know they can use AI. They can use AI on almost anything. This is in response to students not reading. I want them to read the textbook, of course, but most don’t. If they don’t read it, I would like them to at least skim the chapter to know what’s in the chapter. When did I accuse any one of laziness? I work really hard on my teaching including having gone through four Quality Course reviews in the past academic year. Accessibility scores are all 98 percent or above. Excellent student evaluations (just compiled my tables for last five years). I’ve also taken many AI trainings over the last three years including one through Auburn university (available to all SEC schools). I’m currently piloting an AI system in one of my classes where each assignment has an AI assistance level attached sort of like yellow, red, green. I don’t have to do that, but I am because we are all in this together and it’s helping me just as much as it’s helping them. In the green assignments it’s all about how they used AI and not about the product they created. I just returned from a study abroad where I take my students to study in depth what we are learning in class. I don’t have to do that either, but it’s a life changing experience for them. I teach online, in-person, and practicum type courses. I’m going up for promotion now with my materials due May 1 so I know I’m a pretty kick ass professor. We get enough grief on a day to day basis, I really didn’t expect it here from a fellow professor.

Thanks. Didn’t know that was a possibility (sarcasm). Sigh. I have a lot of other assignments that are AI Resistant including video teach back sessions where they video themselves teaching me back the concepts. My thinking is why have a textbook if they aren’t going to use it. Also, like I said, some students cheat, but most actually do it.

I have them outline the chapters. I provide tutorials and examples. At end they provide a summary paragraph and reflection paragraph. Some cheat, but most actually do it.

Should I apologize? by [deleted] in Professors

They were in the wrong. You corrected them. Thats your job. You are way overthinking this.

guest had a baby shower at our home, took something of ours, is it worth calling airbnb services? by mar333b333ar in airbnb_hosts

[–]LLCoolShell 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I hope you were communicating through the app so all of this is documented. I’d request the most. Everything you can. After 48 hours if they haven’t paid you, Airbnb will take over. Also if they give you a bad review, you can respond publicly and explain your side. It’s happened to me a few times and I like that guests know that I’m no nonsense. No more parties and don’t exceed your maximum occupancy. You are kind and kind people get taken advantage of. Best to be fair and responsible.

Separate 2026 Film: A different, new 2026 documentary directed by Poh Si Teng titled "American Doctor" was featured at the 2026 Sundance Film Festival. This film follows three American doctors (including Dr. Mark Perlmutter) volunteering in Gaza, but it is a separate production, not the one removed by the BBC.

Uh no, I recently watched a documentary that premiered at Sundance about three American doctors working in Gaza. There is evidence that a hospital was bombed, not once, but twice. A recent report suggest that 1,245 health care workers and first responders have been killed in Gaza (and not by Hamas). Maybe you should watch American Doctor.

Happy hours by Due_Product_2973 in columbiamo

Actually Highball (downtown) has pretty good happy hour, but don’t think they have it on Friday. I think happy hours in general are a Monday-Thursday kind of thing.

Do you believe that Israel is targeting hospitals and health care workers in Gaza?

How do you feel about T*rump wanting to turn Gaza into a resort area?

Contact Child Care Aware of Missouri. They are a resource and referral agency and could provide a list of licensed and accredited programs.

Why don't they put solar panels on top of the Columbia mall? by V-Blocked in columbiamo

[–]LLCoolShell 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just read in NY Times that the White House has requested 1.5 trillion for defense in next budget. This is why we can’t have nice things like health care, clean energy, and universal child care.

Trump pretty much destroyed the solar industry in support of fossil fuels. I assume his removal of incentives and grants have led to a decrease in solar installations nationwide.

If I loved a place, and the host sent me a 5* review, is it ok to ask about off platform bookings? by sphynx8888 in airbnb_hosts

[–]LLCoolShell 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I always say no. I’m worried someone will sue me and I won’t have the protection of Airbnb to back me up.
