It's an exciting time to be a Saluki!

SIU Carbondale is officially among the top research schools in the US as they've been designated an R1 university.

A boost for our students, Carbondale, and the entire state.

If this is remotely true, then Southern Illinois University Carbondale needs to have an intervention with its Dean of Education who does not seem to understand “education”

Being in College for Education right now is Horrifying

Another AI / ChatGPT Post 🤖
I am a student observer (I student teach next fall) for high school history ed. Right now in college, we have a full class dedicated to using technology in the classroom. However the entire semester was almost fully dedicated to using ai in the classroom. Using ai to make lessons, being told it’s ok to write research papers with them, being told ChatGPT IS a valid source TO CITE, being told to create our college lesson plans using ai, basically being told to use ai for everything. On top of this, our professor has told us she uses ai all the time, including for writing research papers and making our assignments. Every time we pointed out the mistakes ai makes, she would tell us how ai isn’t perfect so just double check it. Oh yea, our professor? She’s our DEAN OF EDUCATION AT OUR COLLEGE. It’s just so infuriating to see.

For those asking, SIUC, Southern Illinois University Carbondale
