I’ve wasted most of the morning writing prose for a learning assessment report based on a class I taught in the Fall. I got half way thru this pointless exercise and I decided to ask an AI ChatBot to write the rest for me, and you know what, it reads *much* better than what I have done 🤔

Look what turned up in the mail today! Beautiful work by Lynne Huffer and @dukepress.bsky.social
