I've been marking too long. I keep typing 'impressive' as 'impressment'. No, I am not reading about press gangs and impressment in the Royal Navy this time, fingers! #AmMarking

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

Once upon a time I used to grab a pile of student papers and head to a local beauty spot to do my grading. Now, with everything on a screen (and hard to see in the sun), I can't. It's also much slower because of feedback forms and many decisions that have to be made for one grade. #AmMarking

the Tower of Babel (Genesis 11) is both written down by Moses, reflecting actual historical events, AND is a polemic against the neo-Babylonian empire. not sure how these can both be true but finding out is the joy of marking. #ammarking
