It’s a grim not-so-merry-go-round for students trying to find their way in super-massive cohorts. @sylviademars.me point that many students using AI to get a 52 could do much better by not taking the shortcut lands hard with me. But 2.2 is a long way providing a smooth path to a legal career. Or 1/3

A thread for marking season. The ability to sustain a researched, organised and coherent argument over a couple of thousand words is still the bedrock skill being developed across the humanities. When we are being asked to ditch the essay in assessment, we're losing the point of what we're doing.

This is also becoming about 75% of marking, which is completely soul destroying - not least when the ones "getting away with it" are producing low 2.2 work (just because we can't prove it doesn't mean there aren't tells!) and actually using their brains would generally result in far better output.

As Head of Library Services at a major international law firm I am horrified in the direction that my employers, and in fact the legal profession more widely, are headed with this. Also the amount of my team's time being wasted trying to track down hallucinated citations.
