First, I appreciate the kind words, they really do mean a lot. I will say, part of the reason I'm likely more aware is because I am an older undergrad (currently 25), but additionally, I've seen all sides of the education system,

Listen, if someone's prank involves shipping me a brand spanking new Herman Miller Embody (with upgraded casters) to my apartment, I'm all for it. I'll even let them upload it to YouTube.

Using AI is risky since it's trained on data from sites like Chegg, StudySmarter (now known as Vaia), Brainly, etc. Since those are user submitted answers, they sometimes get them wrong and so the AI models just regurgitate the wrong a

I should probably do that more, however, one big issue is I can't always trust that I'm not being led astray with some of the posts on Chegg or the responses from ChatGPT and other AI model interfaces. I will frequently get respo

Yes and yes, however , these people still have a right to due process. So as long as they get their date in court and are found guilty, then the US can deport them, but that doesn't seem to be happening. That's the alarming par

Unfortunately, the setup I'm talking about is the norm these days. It's the MyLab and Mastering software offered by Pearson. It doesn't just stop at physics. I've seen it used in math courses and economics courses as w

As a student currently, I'll also throw in this perspective. The colleges themselves make it feel transactional and not about learning even if I'm interested in doing so. For example, I'm taking a physics course right now (e

I definitely appreciate seeing people take initiative within the open source community to keep maintenance alive for packages that are used by thousands of projects. Was any effort made to contact the original author ever? Seems very odd

by sky2224 2y ago
This is true, however, when you have students that want to be in school, I think they're more likely to put the effort necessary in since they can clearly see what the end goal is.

Which I'm assuming is in a university setting, yes? In which case, I would also assume that at least a majority of the students in your class actually want to be in school somewhat. Apply this to middle/high school students and y

I think it's just changed a lot. Building a forum is a decent amount of work and it costs money. You also take on some form of liability for your user's content today, which can be a headache and cost even more money to address.
