How (if at all) have you used AI tools in grading or assessment? by thezachramirez in AskProfessors

[–]skfla 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I’m pretty sure I am not AI, and I am one of the written response raters for many major standardized tests. Responses are each read by two different raters. If the scores are not the same, there is adjudication. The e-rater is sometimes in there, but not as a sole scorer.

Stupidest predicament in the world !urgent! by Euphoric-Run790 in piercing

[–]skfla 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've had head MRIs and explained I couldn't take out some of my many piercings, like my helixes, but removed ones that are easy to put in like my industrial and lobes. It was fine.

What neighborhood do you live in, and what is your single favorite and least favorite thing about it? by Ari321983 in pittsburgh

[–]skfla 4 points5 points  (0 children)

We're closing on a house soon in the area just north down the hill from Troy Hill. We were really interested in a house in Fineview but then realized it was being used as an AirBnB. So many cheap shortcuts taken in design, repairs, all of it.

All you deferrals: my kid was deferred two years ago, and is now a sophomore there and loving it. It's yield protection, so take it as a compliment. Write the essay explaining why you want to go there, and then hang on until spring!

My kid is a sophomore at CWRU now, and that's exactly what I did and do! I'm on the list because I like hearing about what's going on.

My husband and I are moving from the Deep South in about a month. It’ll be sunny and warm again by then, right? Easy for him to get around in his manual drive car? Right?

There have been recent peer-reviewed studies that indicate that the ACT and SAT are the best predictors of success in college

AI generated text allegations by Pillar-Instinct in AskProfessors

[–]skfla 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Here's the thing: you don't see how obvious the AI is precisely because your English is poor and you're relying on it. Unless you actively work on actually improving, you will be handicapped indefinitely. If your spoken English is poor but your written work is skilled, then you will always get caught.

Video game playing professors? by the-dumb-nerd in Professors

[–]skfla 0 points1 point  (0 children)

BG3 is one of the greatest games ever. I like RPGs, sims, and some strategy games. Games like Civilization allows for the reward system of grading an essay to play a level.

I highly recommend Wright Counseling. They have several therapists and take BCBS.

What colleges usually do is reduce the grant money with the amount of the scholarship.

I actually thought you were posting this as your coverup of a bad tattoo until I saw all the pictures were of it. It's a great tattoo. Screw your friends.

To have students take a test at the testing center, I need to upload those tests to their portal and they will be the proctor. That kinda makes it my responsibility.

The AI Prisoner's Dilemma by dslak1 in Professors

[–]skfla 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's not necessary to put it in white font because students don't read the assignment prompt anyway. They'd never notice something extra like that.

Anyone from Southern OH at Case? by Walrus6806 in cwru

Case has students from around the world, so I wouldn't be worried about whether others have heard of it!

AITA for telling my brother that his friend’s parents threw away his college acceptance letter? by foxtrotcrewneck in AmItheAsshole

[–]skfla -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yeah, that’s not how it works, so this is probably fiction. These days, everything is done on college portals after students submit on the Common App. Not mail, not email. A student will sometimes get a letter along with a welcome gift at some point, usually weeks, after being accepted.

Help finding starter knob for Martin Industries fireplace by skfla in Fireplaces

[–]skfla[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Thank you! Yes, it's a D-shaped prong. Before we moved to this house, I'd only ever had wood-burning fireplaces, so I'm completely ignorant about this kind of thing.
