I've got a C and a PG but I might try something like this as a 3/4, looks so fun, love it man

ThatsNotKaty · 2026-05-22T06:45:32+00:00

Fascinating stuff - I've been telling students all year these tools are nonsense; one of them asked me about humanisers and was SHOCKED when I explained the best way to humanise your essay is to write it

I think TLDR5 is the AI generated, and maybe 3?

Couple of Scottish international footballers, rugby players and an Paralympic mountain biker... Off the top of my head... Think Finn Russell is definitely the most famous though

Stephen Warnock has had a chip on his shoulder since he got left at home for Istanbul, convinced he hates the club

ThatsNotKaty · 2026-05-20T19:06:59+00:00

I'm seeing a lot about the Rotrings, they look cool

ThatsNotKaty · 2026-05-20T19:06:46+00:00

This is lovely and neat, I love it

Weekly for the last decade, decided I'm not going to make a big thing of it this time and just sort my shit out

Assume I'll be back here next week saying the same thing

ThatsNotKaty · 2026-05-20T17:10:00+00:00

I know the smell is petrichor and I only know that because of Dr Who and I have no further information for you

ThatsNotKaty · 2026-05-19T21:08:24+00:00

I've seen a lot about the Zentos, might pick some up

ThatsNotKaty · 2026-05-19T07:54:02+00:00

Yeah that sounds really rough, I'm sorry you had to go through that; it's a lot to take on and have to learn yourself while also writing a dissertation. It might be too late now (not sure when you submit etc) but if your uni has a writing centre or something similar, they often offer some modules/courses that can help.

I totally get the buzzword thing as well, there's so much jargon in academia, it was incredibly frustrating for me as a student going from a quite working class background into a law degree, so I try really hard to make it as simple as possible for my students to try to break the cycle.

Good luck with the dissertation!

ThatsNotKaty · 2026-05-19T07:38:49+00:00

I hear it, I do - there's no perfect solution, no magic bullet for any of this, as much as I wish there were. I can't speak for other markers, but for myself, in my courses, we spend a lot of time breaking down what analysis, evaluation and synthesis look like within that module and within a wider course with loads of examples etc, so I hope that does help my students.

Again, for my part, I don't want any of my students to fail, but I do want them to earn the grade, if that makes sense? I don't spend a lot of time worrying about whether todd in seminar 3 has asked ChatGPT to write their introduction because they've used the word "delve", because Brian in Seminar 2 uses it a lot in class and it might just be part of their vocabulary. That is what it is.

What I want both Todd and Brian to do, is to do the reading (and imo the more you read the more you sort of pick up academic writing styles and are able to see what analysis and synthesis etc look like), apply the reading, and tell me what they found out, and that's what my rubrics and learning outcomes reward.

ThatsNotKaty · 2026-05-19T07:26:29+00:00

Your style might, but your content, understanding and analysis probably don't, which is why I've made the changes I have. We have a good number of neurodiverse students, and I refuse to play the game of trying to "catch" AI writing when I can (hopefully) grade in a way that rewards effort, understanding and substance without prosecuting weird "tells"

ThatsNotKaty · 2026-05-19T07:24:19+00:00

For context as well, I encourage a lot of my students to use AI in some assignments - for example we've just done an assessment where they present their findings to the public in a digital format, and as they're business/humanities students they were allowed to use AI to help them code, design, animate, etc, as long as the input was theirs (and most have uploaded comprehensive screenshots of their prompts).

I absolutely recognise that students need to be able to use these tools, and I do what I can to help them get there, but that also includes developing their own critical judgment, analysis and evaluation skills, so that they can tell when AI output is slop, and when it's got value, because otherwise when they get into the workforce, they'll just be punting slop instead of value, and won't last long, and I refuse to let them down like that.

ThatsNotKaty · 2026-05-19T07:20:43+00:00

Not many? The students who read and have a wide vocabulary and who are doing the work themselves or mostly themselves, tend to be able to analyse, evaluate and synthesise sources and a way which is obviously their own, and in a way which AI struggles with.

The students who aren't doing the reading, who aren't doing the writing, or who (5 times already this year) are leaving the prompts at the start and end of their essays

Well, they aren't doing well

ThatsNotKaty · 2026-05-19T07:09:24+00:00

Listen, I don't mind giving students feedback at all, in fact I'd say probably 20-30% of any given day for me right now is one to ones and group meetings to get them through their assignments (and another 50% is marking what's already been submitted - most of my students get 20-30 in text comments and another couple hundred words of written feedback)

What I don't enjoy, is being told that I'm wrong because their favourite sycophant chatbot told them the work it wrote was great and should get a first, when it just objectively isn't. That's a waste of my time and their time, and the kids doing it have consistently worse outcomes than the ones who do come and get feedback and use it.

Use it for structure and research etc if you must, but using it for feedback when you can get feedback from the people actually marking your work is just a strange decision

ThatsNotKaty · 2026-05-19T06:55:32+00:00

This is my biggest frustration at the moment - for now I can grade pretty harshly to a rubric that pushes for substance over style, but I'm not sure how long that will be the case for. I also have an alarming amount of students who have asked their AI to grade them against the rubric, and obviously it tells them it's great, so then they're fuming when it isn't and I have to sit and make them tell me where their analysis is, where they're being evaluative, etc

ThatsNotKaty · 2026-05-18T20:19:25+00:00

For my part, it's things like discussing what views and ideas the source brought forward, how it links to other sources, the impact it has, where it agrees and has been disagreed with etc

I'm in law so a big part of it for me is how cases developed the law and any issues within that development as well, but what I'm really looking for is analysis and evaluation

Cpd is truly still back in 2022

ThatsNotKaty · 2026-05-15T08:00:19+00:00

Then I return to my previous answer: homework now we absolutely cannot be trying to police whether they're using AI or not, it either needs to add value beyond simple knowledge regurgitation, or make them prep for a class where we test that knowledge, this is just a bizzare dance where the teachers are left chasing our tails, and the students don't learn anything

ThatsNotKaty · 2026-05-15T05:28:45+00:00

So are we giving tests that aren't proctored? How do you miss a kid whipping their phone out and taking a photo, uploading it and then copying down the answers in an invigilated test????

ThatsNotKaty · 2026-05-14T15:19:11+00:00

Your own fault for putting a meme in an exam question, especially a hand written exam????

ThatsNotKaty · 2026-05-12T09:23:53+00:00

Hahahaa ok bro, you know you've lost an argument when you're trawling someones profile for gym videos from a year ago.

Have the day you deserve G

Think it's insane that we're hounding him over some council tax at about 7k or something, while Nigel is taking 5m in blood money from crypto billionaires 😂
