In a world of &#34;plagiarism checkers&#34; and &#34;humanizers&#34;, presumably it&#39;s very hard to prove that students haven&#39;t done the work that they are handing in. It must be fairly obvious though. Are there moves to change how students are assessed? Or have you all just given up? Have you started using LLMs to read and mark the &#34;work&#34; that students claim to have done? 2025-04-21T22:41:24Z https://nostr.ae/nevent1qqsgn5yvgq9r6vp6t8nndxnac7s6udklet8kkfx9km7hutzu0sj0myczyqtee0qepd0e0e08d7eyswvs6v2asfret0v2uv0rggdt26upef4ekglelze In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqs80748rngzjupyueugu0demmdpws4djmc8drs358jst3ykwvxwc6snk7pgk'>nevent1q…7pgk</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/> <img src="https://cdn.fosstodon.org/media_attachments/files/114/354/451/434/943/672/original/289503d3f70f10bd.jpg"> <br/> 2025-04-17T17:21:14Z https://nostr.ae/nevent1qqsdyncp3z7rlt5awdwlads7lvzrpcnyvcemy6smvyr4synmwcyu65qzyqtee0qepd0e0e08d7eyswvs6v2asfret0v2uv0rggdt26upef4eku0ruc5 In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsrx38g28y5xanm87py4w4rggmnvlld9eycxlf5mswpnfj9z74kx8sd7sqan'>nevent1q…sqan</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>My original post is sponsored by the second mistake in 2 days that I&#39;ve just found by doing a full listen back. 2025-03-26T03:39:35Z https://nostr.ae/nevent1qqsrx38g28y5xanm87py4w4rggmnvlld9eycxlf5mswpnfj9z74kx8szyqtee0qepd0e0e08d7eyswvs6v2asfret0v2uv0rggdt26upef4ek92wss9 There are many reasons why I&#39;ve managed to get into the absurd situation where I get paid to talk to my friends about computers, but one of the most important ones (I think) is that I take the time to listen back to every episode before it is published.
