Making it a requirement for PhD students to publish in order to graduate, as happens in many places in the world, is a terrible idea. Even when the motivation are pure, the time delays and arbitrary decisions in some reviews etc. are no way to evaluate educational learning outcomes.

TEQSA just published 'Enacting assessment reform in a time of artificial intelligence'

We describe three pathways to assessment reform:

- taking a program-wide approach
- assuring learning in every unit/subject
- implementing a combination of these approaches

I agree with this, don't weight Lane 2 assessments more than Lane 1 *or* make Lane 1 hurdle tasks. But, beyond this, my advice is that if there is a genuine educational reason to limit AI use in take-home type assessments, add as much security as you can rather than throwing away needed tasks.

#NIH accounts for 47 billion = 25% of US federal research funding, essential for their world-leading position in bio-medical research.

Trump just shut it down.

No foreign adversary in their wildest wet dream could achieve such a devastating act of traitorous sabotage with a stroke of a pen.

Communications shutdown. Travel ban. Canceled study sections. Now a hiring freeze?

Shutting down the NIH indefinitely without stated cause is literally an act of sabotage.

Left: yesterday. Right: today.
Jan 21 2025: 27 job openings listed at NIH. Jan 22 2025: There are no postings at this time.

@guycurtis10.bsky.social at #herdsa2025 sharing 20 yr longitudinal study on prevalence of #plagiarism in Australian HE.
Most forms of plagiarism are trending downward, student understanding of what is plagiarism is up and they know it is serious. Aligned with ⬆️ mandatory education and training.

Protip for prospective grad students. Please don't do this:

Applicant: Here's my CV. I think I'd be a great fit with your group.

Me: But your experience and interests are in a completely different field.

Applicant: Thanks for your prompt reply. Can you recommend another prof?

A company lost value for using actual human intelligence 🤦‍♂️

Interesting. I find tools like Cadmus and Inktrail don’t feel that way to me. They let students write things over time and as a marker I look only after the assignment is submitted at the process of how it was done.

I find it amazing that some people say “this is terrible, students are being put under surveillance and won’t work like they usually do”, and the same people have as their solution in-class tests and exams….where students are put under surveillance and don’t work like they usually do 🤦‍♂️ 2/2

I’ve recently seen people criticise software that allows educators to see the process of students’ writing. I think such programs are great for providing enriched feedback and have the incidental benefit of enhancing assessment security. 1/2

It's reciprocal, right? Those penguins have been ripping off the USA for years. They've had it too good for too long ;)
