I did a thing this term where I told my students they were allowed to use ChatGPT. The catch was, they had to tell me about it in a reflection when they handed in their paper. This is a thread about how it all went.

The infuriating thing about language is that if you describe this as a "fun little red rubber ball" you're fine but if you call it a "rubber fun red little ball" you sound like you had a stroke, even though there is no official rule about order of adjectives.

I'm not sure about this. "Grade grubbing" is a systems problem and something faculty teach students to do (because they learn from doing it once that it works). Second, grading is subjective and students have the right to say, "you missed the boat here" and this is why. 1/x

I think it is fine to tell students that they don't get extra credit options. It's also fine to have a policy of not reviewing student work again just because the student asks. 2/x

The student has to put in legwork to get their papers re-reviewed, by providing detailed explainations of why their grade should be higher. The entitled ones that just expect their grade to be raised, can't do this. 3/3

There is a nice little patch of sun coming through my office window and I want to curl up in it and pretend I am a warm kitty taking a nap.

I now have 4 papers sitting at journals in various stages of publication. Even I don't know how I did it. The first was submitted in July and the last just yesterday.

Does that actually happen?
When the journal only allows six authors on a paper

I feel like I've lost my writing mojo. I'm spewing out formulaic shit.
