"As more and more #students begin using #AI to complete assignments, #professors across the country are changing their approach—and losing their hope. “My emotional response to all this is hard to describe, something between disgust and despair,” a #historyprofessor writes. “Was it always the case that half of our students would cheat if it were easy enough?” Jay Caspian Kang collects testimonials from 12 faculty members from across the country on how A.I. usage in the #classroom has changed their work."

What we become depends on what we read after all of the professors have finished with us. The greatest university of all is a collection of books.

@mattblaze @SRDas @SteveBellovin As a program officer making #scientific #grants, I was acutely aware of the grad student funding dilemma. Whenever possible, on a site visit for example, I took time to meet with grad students. They are often doing a great deal of the work, have lots of ideas, and are very likely the people you want to respond to future Requests for Proposals #RFP.

When I decided to fund a #proposal, I always included language that indicated intent to *extend* a grant/contract “subject to available funds”, progress, etc. and I followed through. I got criticized for this in my organization for a variety of reasons but never reversed.

Here is the reason why: I spent the sponsors’ (NASA, DARPA, other government tech programs) money “wisely.” That meant I “delivered high quality research results.” I attribute this to the effort I made to forge mutual understanding and trust with PIs, communication, enthusiasm, and reciprocal personal commitments to excellence.

To #professors and #gradstudents who are writing and working on grants, I highly recommend getting to know the program officer for an RFP and exactly what they hope to achieve. This kind of clarity means a better proposal for everyone’s benefit. When sponsored #research funds are under extreme pressure as they are today, it could make the critical difference for acceptance of your proposal.

Good luck to all of you, and remember that luck favors the well-prepared.

Duh, students need a small class with a dedicated, well-trained, supportive, teacher.

'Policy analysts looked at 20 years’ worth of data collected for the annual Student Academic Experience Survey, currently run by the Higher Education Policy Institute and Advance HE, to establish key trends in a tumultuous period for higher education. The key findings were said to be “surprisingly simple”: “a good student academic experience ultimately comes down to quality teaching, access to in person interaction with teachers and a strong sense of belonging”.'

When I was in collage in the #1980s, "they" moved #MLKDay to July to make the #4thOfJuly holiday a 4 day weekend.
Many of the #professors didn't like that and said that they just wouldn't hold class that day.
Then the school administration decreed that they had to hold class and take attendance that day AND that an unexcused absence must negatively effect the grade.
So there were few classes the Friday before the holiday.

This year’s senior class is the first to have spent nearly its entire college career in the age of generative AI, a type of artificial intelligence that can create new content, like text and images. As the technology improves, it’s harder to distinguish from human work, and it’s shaking academia to its core. Special correspondent Fred de Sam Lazaro reports for our series, Rethinking College.

Does anyone else here have a higher respect for professors after leaving College? because i really do. The professors I worked with have been incredibly kind, super accommodating, and very knowledgeable on their subjects. For #Professors out there, I just want to say thank you for what you do. #College, #HigherEducation
