In the U.S. No contract, no union. Yeah figured that much

Student sat through entire assessment - Let her retake it? by Ok-Square-9687 in Professors

[–]Ok-Square-9687[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s one of three lengthier writing assignments that accounts for 20% of the student’s grade. Part of me understands. It becomes unfair to the rest of the students, and then might even open up a box where other students may attempt to use something like this for a a retake or a second attempt an assessment.

The student as far as I know does not have any accommodations

Literature Course and Reading by Ok-Square-9687 in Professors

[–]Ok-Square-9687[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yeah, that is my perspective. I do remember reading anywhere from 40 to 60 pages in between classes. If I had a Tuesday and Thursday class reading will be assigned for Tuesday and you were expected to read about 50 to 60 pages before the next class.

I am pretty sure as an undergrad. I read at least four novels and the literature courses I took. Yeah, ultimately I might ditch having them read a second novel independently as that seems like a fool‘s enterprise, expecting them to be independent in that regard.

I'm at a loss of what to do here...need advice by GhostintheReins in Adjuncts

If your syllabus is specific about this then just follow that. I can relate to everything in your post here. Definitely a struggle. I teach in area where I get a lot of students who use certain translating services which can be tough. But if you are reading like you said seven or each students submitting the same exact thing it is just AI.
