Student: AI, write my thesis for me!

Prof: AI, was this thesis generated by AI?

AI: yes, of course, you poor human!

Prof: ...shrug...

I thought my class to write a standard 5-paragraph essay and made all tests essay questions, written in class by pencil- had to have an opening statement, complete sentences, well organized, and a conclusion…was told I was asking too much for a final day of school and everyone I failed got a C minus.

Hi,

I would have failed every single one of your tests. Not because I don't understand the material, or the English language, but because structured writing, to this day, makes me seize up. Blank space is one of my biggest triggers for executive dysfunction/PDA. Turning everything into a cookie-cutter essay is just a different form of trying to fit everyone into the same box. More selective than making everything multiple guess, but no better. I feel bad for your students.

I might have an idea why you freeze up with structured writing to this day, and I think it might have less to do with disabilities than you imply.
