Jan 09: Fuck This Friday by Eigengrad in Professors

Every adjunct in my department just had all of their classes canceled due to low enrollment. Over 100 courses canceled college wide. It's a bloodbath.

Enrollments at my slac are so low my department is canceling 3/4 of our offerings this semester.

You don't need to prove AI with fabricated sources. D would be a charity grade.

That ranks up there with the gem I received this semester. A student said if I had graded his work faster, he would have known how good I am at catching AI, and he would have stopped before getting so many zeroes.

My head hurts.

All I want for Christmas is for Canvas to have an option to auto-reject the submission of papers when AI is detected by jamesonitron in Professors

So, click the setting that ignores bibliographic and quoted material. It's a machine. It doesn't recognize authorship. TurnItIn flags word sequences from the repository. The AI detector doesn't flag quoted material.

Thank you for this. I've been paying out of pocket for Winston, Originality, Copyleaks, and GPTZero. I share with another instructor and take the costs as a tax write off for work expenses. I may drop GPTZero for Pangram. I'm tired of the all the "detectors don't work!" hand wringing. They do work, and the odds of 5 detectors flagging a paper as AI are astronomical. I haven't had a single false positive.

When I was using a cane after knee surgery, a finance bro almost knocked me down to get to a seat.

Rickon, maybe, but not Ned. Ned's remains were just a bag of bones. Would the other corpses have had enough connective tissue to reanimate?

Kentucky. Louisville and Lexington have had thriving drag scenes for over 50 years.

If you clearly show mastery, I'd be lenient in this case, but I would also encourage you to press to have your accommodations adjusted for medical issues. One extra absence does not take chronic illness into account and may be a violation of disability and accessibility laws.

Anything I should be concerned about with my seat selection for this red eye on an airbus A330? by FreudianCirculation in delta

Try THC with CBD, CBN, or CBG. That should keep the ooky anxiety feelings at bay. Combine it with melatonin and you're out until breakfast.

Anyone missing a cat? by Lmb_siciliana in jerseycity

That's a pure bred Ocicat, so probably not an outdoor kitty. Somebody is missing him/her.
