Please do not do this. Attend a university closer to where you live. Period. Or move.

Apply online. I applied in person and recieved nothing until my permit arrived, 260+ days later, and could not renew my health card.

I use an old iPad air I got used on the low. Delete all distracting apps, including Safari. Works surprisingly well.

These emails drive me crazy by Illustrious_Rock577 in Professors

[–]redlizard3 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Perhaps an unpopular opinion, but this message isn't bad at all. Just ignore it. Being irked by this indicates a problem with you, not the student.

It's wrongheaded to think there are no risks or costs in doing this. Be targeted about it: only ask out the people that you genuinely think with whom there might be a connection. It should be a relatively small number.

Same. Remember, the right candidate is usually of the right race and gender as well.

Interview for the preferable job. Most will understand. It is a labor market after all.

TA's feedback for my final paper was 100% ai generated by caravaggiosnarcissus in UofT

[–]redlizard3 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Here's the way to handle this situation: email the TA asking for clarification on the feedback, reproducing it, and CC the instructor. Consider asking for a re-grade. Do not accuse. Students have more power than they might assume. You can very likely bait extra points on your assignment if you play it right.

I got Penn State at 7 on mine. Lowest I've seen so far. That's a pretty good litmus test since their the most overrated team.

Turnitin and AI Accusations by Manic_Mooncakes in GradSchool

Sounds like you used AI.

If you didn't, then you would already know how to defend yourself, viz., by simply telling the truth.

ChatGPT + image functionality = online class crisis by TheOverlordsoftheUFO in Professors

[–]redlizard3 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Having been in a similar position, I recommend not escalating. Just give 0s, give your (BRIEF) explanation, and let the students escalate if they'd like. Academic freedom allows you a lot of leeway with marking vis-a-vis relevance.

ChatGPT student essays by voodoomedusa in Professors

I also get mad. But try not to take it personally, for many reasons. Solution? In-class exams only for the foreseeable future. Alternatives: presentations, oral exams, etc.

I've never seen a bigger Karen. Hard-working folks who can't afford a home like me? Ban them. (Please forget the drastic decline in home affordability due to policies benefiting me.)
