Sometimes it can be hard to tell if we’re chatting with a bot or a real person online, especially as more and more companies turn to this seemingly cheap way of providing customer support. What are some strategies to expose AI?

    Last time I talked about this with the other TAs, we ended up coming to the conclusion that most papers that were decent were close to the max word count or above it (I don’t think the students were really treating it as a max, more like a target). Like 50% of the word count really wasn’t enough to actually complete the assignment

      Totally, good assessment design matches the rubric with an appropriate length, so it’s hard for them to fulfill it well if they don’t take the space.

      As for the maxed out ones, iirc I tended to just rule a line at the 110% mark and not read/mark anything past it.

      I know that’s a bit uncaring, but it’s an easy way to avoid unfairly rewarding overlength, and the penalty sort of applied itself.
