#AcademicMastodon

Another controversial #academic opinion of mine:
I don’t go to where the students “live”. Attending #college is about expanding horizons, exploring the unknown, breaking out of the comfort zone, sometimes stumbling, sometimes falling, but also picking one’s self back up and moving into a wider world. In other words, they should be coming to where I “live”.

interesting take on academic publishing

Scientists are increasingly overwhelmed by the volume of articles being published. Total articles indexed in Scopus and Web of Science have grown exponentially in recent years; in 2022 the article total was 47% higher than in 2016, which has outpaced the limited growth, if any, in the number of practising scientists.

#Teaching question: a student turned in a 1-page paper with one line that stands out as being far more sophisticated in style and vocabulary than the rest of the writing. I tried googling the line as well as running it thru Turnitin, and I can't find the source.

What's the next step? Is it reasonable to ask the student if they can explain the meaning of that line to me and, if not, ask where it is from?

I love this quote from @Linkletter on Turnitin's struggle to stay relevant:

"They're marketing it as a precision product, but they're using dodgy language about how it shouldn't be used to make decisions...They're working at an accelerated pace not because there is any desperation to get the product out but because they're terrified their existing product is becoming obsolete."

Bard's new interface tests each chatbot claim by highlighting whether Google search was able to corroborate it.

The art to receiving (not just giving) & benefitting from academic peer feedback, especially when it's inter/multidisciplinary.

Reflections:
- terminology you think is common currency IS NOT;
- what needs spelling out across several paragraphs for reviewer X doesn't even need mentioning for reviewer Y;
- why your research matters TOTALLY differs for each reviewer.

What to do:
- find a common feedback denominator;
- consult the criteria;
- hold your nose & submit!

If you are a potential reviewer, or interested in becoming one, please contact me. I am particularly interested in promoting the voices of women and/or BIPOC and/or LGBTQ+ and other marginalized voices, but of course, am not restricted to that.

I know it is a a phrase subject to definitional disagreements and covering fast-evolving applications (https://iai.tv/articles/ai-is-not-intelligent-auid-2519) and also the technology of text generators known as Large Language Models (LLMs), but if you had to define it with nuance for a lay audience who only ever hears the phrase 'artificial intelligence', what rhetorical magic do you use?

#ArtificialIntelligence #PublicUnderstanding #AcademicMastodon

Fellow professors, if you're teaching an introductory course in graduate school, set aside some class time early in the semester for students to discuss their transition to your program. You'll find that they're struggling far more than you probably realized. You won't be able to solve all their problems, but opening space for them to voice their issues is more powerful than you can imagine.

@mguhlin @Bilingualism @edutooter @linguistics

2/2 Among the limitations are that the English is too much and too difficult for L2 learners in most academic sources, such as journals. When students use automatic translation, they have probably thought about the content in Japanese, but they can paste auto-translated English into papers without fulfilling the language-driven mandate to balance the content-driven approach. I do not believe in content-based EFL as a pretext to mask a language-driven agenda, since the students are enriched by the transferable knowledge they gain in L1 as well as in L2.

Writing reflects thinking, so I discourage writing and speaking that relies on machine translation or AI. The result might be obvious, but we cannot accuse and police students.

How can we promote authenticity in such an age?

#AI #Bilingualism #BilingualEducation #LanguageEducation #LanguageTeaching #Education #HigherEducation #HigherEd #AcademicMastodon #AcademicFedi #Japan #Japanese

@mguhlin In Bilingualism classes in Japan, I can require students to show what they have learned from this class, which is based on reliable research, and to discuss their own experiences in summary, reflection, and response papers. In such ways I can discern how much of students' writing is their own thinking and analyzing. Findings from the discipline of bilingualism are dwarfed by the amount of common misconceptions about bilingualism, which would presumably be reflected in AI databases, from blogs and such sources in Japanese, where students find mostly stereotypical, anecdotal, or prejudiced information for papers, despite my warnings to use reliable sources. I am wondering how applicable this approach could be for other subject matter areas.
