I will go to my grave explaining the difference between the #ICC and the #ICJ. In fact, I'll probably be buried with 'it's two different fucking courts' on my tombstone. Sigh. #IntLaw #Courts #TheHague #Accountability #Justice #AmGrading

My three cats are taking turns plopping themselves on the very paper I need to type up notes and then slapping at the laptop until it closes. As if it’s a conspiracy to stop my productivity #AmGrading

And now we have a proposal for a non-Eurocentric approach to Chinese disability history that sidesteps the Cartesian split, beginning with my amazing friend Sonam Kachru’s brilliant book on Buddhist ideas of other minds. I am dancing, I #amgrading
Just one stellar paper after the other. This one is on the place of North Africa in generating the most important theoretical insights of twentieth century social science. #amgrading #amlearning

are students being taught to format essays with a space between each paragraph now? is this a google docs thing? I never used to see this and now it is omnipresent, especially with first-year students. #academicchatter #amgrading

Are students accidentally claiming 2 unrelated things have a causal relationship because they're trying to write formally, or is this a thing AI does. Questions I ponder while I #amgrading
(It doesn't really matter if its AI for the grade; it still gets marked down and corrected).

Anyone else out there feeling incredulous rage when encountering a submission that's clearly been bought from an essay mill, or generated by ChatGPT or similar?
So disheartening 😒.
AI is generating much more credible looking references than it was 6 months ago
