When I was in school we would get these long 'research' assignments that required gathering sources and give citations rarely as they consumed a lot of time so it was reserved for the important projects that made up a considerable part of your grade. I helped my nephew in High School, not college for a few months last year and I was so sick and tired of constantly getting so many of these assignments every single god damn week. I just couldn't understand the point of it, you were given so little time since it seemed like every week several classes wanted one of these on top of the regular homework and sometimes there would be two of them on the same week from the same class so of course the quality would be low and I just do not see the point of this type of assignment if its not given the proper amount of time it requires. I hated everything about it and when chatgpt came along I saw it as a blessing hoping that now that there was something that could do this the teachers would stop relying on them so much.
