I have always taught my students how to use Wikipedia. I teach them to never cite Wikipedia, but I have an entire back pocket lesson on proper Wikipedia use that I have taught hundreds of times.
It used to be that the students who refused to put effort in would just copy the first line from the first Google result without reading. This was easy to reject when grading. LLM slop can have the appearance of legitimate work at first, which can be frustrating when you are trying to quickly grade a stack of papers.



















Being able to research is not busy work. Being able to write an argument is not busy work. Being able to write a paper is an important skill that will not be made obsolete. Your inability to recognize the importance of these skills means your understanding of the world does not match reality, and your opinion on education is about as worthless as a $3 bill.
You have not taken any form of class on pedagogy. You do not know what you are talking about.
You are not an educator. You have not spent any time in education. You do not have the theory or the practice to know how students learn or what they need.
