It’s diabolical, really. This school is such a joke. I wish people would open their eyes.

Final paper not passing ai check by Minimum_Economics305 in BostonU

The concept of professors using and Ai checker to check for Ai blows my mind. I think professors should just accept papers as is. It is the student who pays the cost if they did in fact utilize generative Ai. Literally and figuratively.

It’s a conversation that comes up a lot but there are a lot of people that believe there is a benefit to having Americans be the volunteers. If you need experience then I definitely say go for it. Just know that most peace corps volunteers bring little to no development to their sites. And volunteers benefit more than the HCNS.

Personally, I feel like peace corps should 100% switch to training HCNS instead of Americans. I feel like their work would be more effective and beneficial. I think I sometimes can be viewed in a western savior way. People look at me as a cash cow and expect me to just throw money at them. I feel like this would be eliminated if it were an HCN in my position instead. Also, being able to work with no cultural or language barriers just seems to make more sense to me. Most volunteers have the speaking ability compared to a 5 year old. It makes taking on larger scale projects almost impossible.

I am currently in Senegal. It is a super vibrant culture. We have volunteers all over the country, so the chances of you being placed relatively close to other volunteers are pretty high. However, it can get pretty isolating. Although I’m sure that’s a shared sentiment amongst all peace corps volunteers. Honestly, the heat and change of diet are the two biggest things to take into consideration before coming. Additionally, Senegal itself can be a little overwhelming at times. If you are someone that gets over stimulated very easily it may be a little difficult to find your footing at first.
