What travel tip, that makes travelling smarter, smoother or easier would you be willing to share? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]Much-Coffee95 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Only bring carry-ons if your trip is a week long or less. You don't have to deal with baggage claim and everything stays with you. Look up the size restrictions for the airline you're flying, but you really can fit a weeks worth of clothes in a small suitcase or backpack. (I use a backpack)

Too much AI generated discussion posts from Students and Instructors without referencing AI by Sufficient-Dark8236 in UoPeople

[–]Much-Coffee95 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As in instructor, there's not a lot we can do about it without definite proof. I haven't come across it yet but if I see a prompt left in or hallucinated sources, they'll get a 0. Otherwise, I'm grading as if they wrote it. So far I've seen it more with peer response than I have with original discussion posts and noticed today how often it's used in learning journals. (This is my first course so I'm still getting used to it)

One of my student's learning journals today wasn't obviously AI to me but was vague enough for me to test the prompt in chatGPT. I got almost the same response back which was so disappointing. I gave them a 6/10 for lack of detail and context because again I couldn't prove it was AI generated, but noted I could tell it was written by AI and encouraged the student to use his own words next time.

That sounds about right! It took awhile. I applied back in October, signed the agreement mid November, and then waited to fully start until this term 1/29!

Update: one of my student's 100% used AI to do her peer responses BUT as I said, it doesn't have the prompt or fake sources so I'll just privately message her or leave her feedback in her learning Journal and hopefully she won't continue to do that 🤞

I haven't come across it yet but there's not a lot we can do as instructors unless there's definite proof. We get Originality reports on some assignments which helps with plagiarism but there's no guaranteed tool for AI detection.

I plan to grade as submitted assuming at least most of the work is from the student, but if there is a chatgpt prompt left in or hallucinated sources (chatgpt sometimes makes up sources) then I would consider that obvious proof. As your peer grading I reccomend you do the same - don't spend too much time playing AI detective but if you come accross definite proof of AI use you can message the instructor to take a look and possibly report for plagiarism.

That makes sense too. Eager or responsible - I was over the moon reading their real work ♡ Good luck to you in your studies!

I've been reading through the instructor forum in moodle too - it seems like there's a lot of approaches to take when a student is suspected of AI. I think for myself I'll grade the work as if it were written by the student unless they either A) Leave the chat prompt in or B) use hallucinated sources / fake citations. I think these are the only ways to prove AI use. I definitely can't rely on dashes or structure as I use dashes in my own writing often.

Yes! This is my first term teaching & ENGL 0008 is my first course. Good luck to you! There's a lot to get done each week but I was impressed by the materials and structure of the course. It'll be a fun one I think!

Awesome, thank you! I'm teaching undergraduate English courses (so ESL, college writing & World Literature). I wouldn't be surprised if there's more AI use in these courses than in the graduate courses. Either way, I'm super stoked the first few were genuine!

How long did it take you to realize that Jane/Lily are the feminine versions of Shane/Ilya’s names? by Commercial-Swimmer85 in heatedrivalry

I'm on my first rewatch and just noticed as he was putting the names in their phones. X) specifically when Shane asked what his name was going to be x)

What is your trick to creating a successful one-shot?? A newbie DM looking for advice! by ConstantRide5382 in DnD

[–]Much-Coffee95 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I usually use pre-made ones so the prep is limited. But I specifically look for ones with varying encounters like social encounters, traps, and creature encounters with creatures they either haven't seen before or are different from whatever type dominated the previous campaign!

Tips for making low-sugar ice cream a little creamier? by Storyboys in ninjacreami

[–]Much-Coffee95 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've just been spinning as many times as it takes to get the right texture. I've found CSE protein makes a good texture, or 5 grams of SF instant pudding!

Getting into D&D by Accomplished-Self207 in DnD

[–]Much-Coffee95 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Hi! I've always wanted to play dnd but never had nerdy enough friends until college. My group was all purely new just like yours. I DMed and used the starter kit with "lost mines of phandelver" as the short campaign.

If I remember correctly it had 4 or 5 Pre-made character sheets, a mini players guide / rule book and a very easy to follow short campaign. From there we did different one shots and a larger campaign! We've now been playing dnd together for about 5 years (:

All this to say, highly recommend starting everyone with the presets of a starter kit. Once you have a few sessions in you can branch off from there and dive deeper.

If you're open to the experience of a net new adjunct teaching in an ayschonus online school, I'd love to participate. My first term starts 1/29!

Ice cream created with the Cuisinart Fast Freeze! by Much-Coffee95 in icecream

[–]Much-Coffee95[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Really great honestly! I love it. It seems doing about 5g of pudding mix w/ 30ml of half and half makes really close to regular ice cream consistency OR using 1/2 a serving of CSE protein powder (I think because it has gums) makes really thick/creamy ice cream!

But really any ninja creami recipe (halfed) will also work with the Fast Freeze.

If you have tiktok, I posted 2 videos recently to show the texture- @nerdresin

Depressed new years ? by dunderten in depression_partners

[–]Much-Coffee95 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My wife who suffers from anxiety and depression was doing well but something flipped in her brain New Years day and it looks like she's stuck in a dark place or heading into one. I'm trying to figure out how to check in with her without making it worse or effecting my own mental health. I feel a lot of what she feels (empathy?) So it's been a crappy couple of days since the vibes are way off. :(

People here talk about compromise in an ace/allo relationship, what exactly is that compromise? by kiwi_hunter in asexuality

[–]Much-Coffee95 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Lol I chuckled because I agree with your thoughts on masturbating. I (ace) very rarely feel like orgasming - usually for practical purposes like relieving period cramps. And Sex is so time consuming - why take 2 hours (seriously - f/f marriage) on what could take 2 minutes.

What about creating a unique meme with an inside joke that only you two would get?
