Dear faculty,

The administration will review all assigned books to determine whether they are still relevant to modern life. This review does not involve reading the books.

All written assignments must be replaced by coloring sheets.

The new grading scale is:

A: 49.5-100
A-: 0-49.4

and absolutely no one will reflect on why it’s terrible

My wife is shocked that every student in an intro to college essay writing class would submit an AI-generated essay given that the entire class is about writing an essay.

the whole conversation is really great (!) but the β€œnever get in a car driven by Jacques Derrida” part simply cannot be emphasized enough 😢
