Lori Emerson on Nostr: I am floored at how different our class looks now compared to how it looked back in ...
I am floored at how different our class looks now compared to how it looked back in September when students would sit in complete silence, staring at screens until class began; many of them never looked up during class and most likely weren't paying attention; and let's say a third used some sort of LLM to write their first paper. Today's class: it was practically raucous when I showed up; they're willing to handwrite daily in-class writing responses; they made eye contact with me; they nod their heads; and many of them spent the last couple of weeks working on their papers and making sure, in one student's words, they're "authentic." g-damn people, the kids just need a little help, some positive energy, and encouragement!
