You know, I could really do without OCLC consistently making their products worse. 🤬

Yes. Taught in all their active shooter trainings in school.

So, how do you sign off on the email telling the student they’re getting an F for using AI to write their paper? Sincerely? Best? Godfuckingdammit?

After finishing my masters 25 years ago, do I remember how to do school? I just registered for the first class in a graduate certificate program for fall, so I guess we’ll find out! 😳😬😁
