I’m sorry, so fucking angry. Students with sources that don’t exist. Students with sources that exist but then the quotation doesn’t exist.
I’m so fucking mad, because it’s extra work for me (that I’m sure as hell not getting compensated for), and it also entirely defeats the purpose of the fucking class (it’s writing/research, so like, engaging in a discipline and looking at what’s been written before on your topic, etc.)
Kill me please. Comrades, I’m so tired. I just want to teach writing. I want to give students a way to exercise agency in the world – to both see bad arguments and make good ones. They don’t care. I’m so tired.
BTW, I took time to look up some of these sources my student used, couldn’t find the quotes they quote, so told them the paper is an “A” if they can show me every quotation and failing otherwise. Does this seem like a fair policy (my thought is – no matter the method, fabrication of evidence is justification for failing work)?
if two students are using exact same (unneeded) variable in a script, did they do similar prompt or do they talk to each other
fucking hate this shit, something which could be done in like 20 lines of code is like 200. I don’t particularly have to care, cause i’m not teaching programming but jesus christ
This is especially funny to me, I don’t know about other editors but vscode highlights unused variables. So easy to just delete if you looked over the code even once.
oh it’s used in the sense it does something, just the use is so trivial as to be meaningless
