🚨 Practical URGENT tip for NSF grantees: Out of an abundance of caution, I would right now go into Research.gov and… 1. Download your NSF award letters. 2. Print PDF your annual reports. 3. Screenshot the status table for annual reports. NSF is planning maintenance tomorrow to Research.gov
Due to maintenance, Research.gov (including access to NSF-PAR, GRFP, PES, and ETAP) will be unavailable from Fri., 4/25 at 10:00 PM ET to Sat., 4/26 at 1:00 PM ET. NSF apologizes for any inconvenience.

4/4 A good substitute is a 0.0 to 4.0 scale, which everyone is already used to. That way the highest (4.0) and lowest (0.0) grades average out to a C (2.0), just as God intended :-) End of rant.

Mark Warschauer @markwarschauer.com · 19/01/2025
3/4 There is nothing wrong with zero grading! The problem is having a 10-point interval between other grades and a 60-point interval between a D and an F. Don’t mess with the zero, but change the intervals!

Mark Warschauer @markwarschauer.com · 19/01/2025
2/4 Unfortunately, critics of the grading system focus on the concept of “zero-grading” and try to remedy the problem by having a grading scale go from 50-100. That makes them sound as if they have low standards and want to reward students with points for work they didn’t turn in.

Mark Warschauer @markwarschauer.com · 19/01/2025
1/4 Sunday morning rant. The 100-point grading scale so widely used in the US is irrational and ridiculously unfair. Why in the world should a student who gets one A (100) and one F (0) get an overall grade of F (50)?

We first teach elementary students arithmetic concepts then teach secondary students to use calculators to support their math work. It’s more challenging but same principles apply to LLMs. Teach elementary students foundations, then teach secondary students to use AI to support their learning.

Feel free to cross it out of the contract before signing it. I expect that most publishers won’t insist in it. I've removed it by simply telling publishers that I have multiple collaborative projects going on with possible commitments to other publishers and this is too unwieldy for me.

Note that this study examines human graders' detection of AI, not automated detection if AI (which is also very inaccurate)

Two purported mechanisms: (1) Girls do better in school, so were more harmed by shutdowns (2) Girls may have been tasked with more responsibilities at home, such as looking over younger siblings, that crowded out studying

Seems to be a mix here between storing them in classrooms to kids lugging them. My kids didn’t seem to mind. As for how they are used, I’ll stand by my old adage: laptops won’t make a bad school good, but they’ll make a good school better
