Grading Time!
Grading isn't my favorite part of the whole professoring gig, but it is important to do it well. It's a lot easier, of course, since I got a sorting hat to help me out.
The part I struggle with, of course, is the judgment of it all. But assessment is a key part of the learning process, so off the hat and I go for the next week.
Having gotten partway through, I noticed one thing about my take-home finals:
(1) AI is surprisingly easy to spot in certain contexts, and
(2) It is not very good at sentencing. The obvious-AI answers are consistently underperforming students who didn't use it, so I guess for now I'm just going to grade it all straight-up!
