I'm not sure whether I'll be posting about this here, sorry. I'm taking notes because I've been out of this for ages, but also behind on providing feedback on a PhD dissertation and on #marking so may have limits to my ability to multitask.

Does anyone know why "informed consent" was cool for like 20 years, and then uncool? 1994 to 2014. #marking #procrastination

I'm still #marking today :-/ And also giving a talk to @shannonvallor.bsky.social's group at 3pm UK time.

Are "humanisers" worse this year? Are native English speaking students sourcing non-Western ones that make errors native English speakers (or really even anyone human typing) wouldn't make? e.g. adjacent letters on keyboards but not an error you ever saw even before spellchecking? #marking #AIEthics

It’s frustrating that UCD’s late submission policy more or less incentivises students to submit work late. Particularly when the work is good and you have to deduct marks because it’s late. 😟 #marking #grading #academia #UCD

Teachers: Who's got marking this weekend?

My bag was literally heavy enough to set off the child-not-wearing-seatbelt warning on the way home this afternoon!

Ugh... TOK essay hand in today (Thursday 11:55pm) and expected to have them marked for moderating by Monday. Laaaaaaame. #teaching #marking #ThoeryOfKnowledge

Very interesting, and very useful to know… it’s not enough to quit fb/insta, they are watching you all over the web even without a meta account..

If you haven’t noticed this morning, my criteria for a skype worth sharing is a little lower if I’m also excited to share that the skyper joined bluesky. Welcome, and also back to Berlin, Tyson. Now to get back to my overdue #marking…

Haha @conjugateprior says "a prince that is not wise cannot be well advised" #marking

One student did more delving than any decent AI should have. Crappy, redundant AI or clueless weak student? #marking

In case anyone needs a little repetitive task speed timer in Octave/MATLAB, here's a one liner I made:

clf(); t = []; lasttime = time; while true; pause; t = [t, time - lasttime]; lasttime= time; m = mean(t); plot(t); hold on; line([0, length(t)], [m, m]); hold off; end

Just hit space or something each time you finish one of whatever you're doing. It shows history and overall mean time per thing. Could definitely be fancier, but why are you spending time looking at the plot?
