This is presuming the "result" is a good grade in the assessment, whereas the result should be the learning and understanding itself. How we re-centre that is the big question.
“Students using AI is like hiring robots to lift weights for you in a gym”. No it isn’t. Some people like working out. Some people hate it and want the result. If you can get the result without the sweat, so be it.

There are already many articles for which there is more attention on Bluesky than on other comparable micro-blogging sites, meaning the academic community and the general public have clearly adopted Bluesky as one of its core places to disseminate and discuss new research.

Noun or verb?
The two books that are foundational for memory researchers represent this difference.
Ebbinghaus (1885) Memory. Treated memory as a thing, both as a capability and as individual traces.
Bartlett (1932) Remembering. Treated memory as an activity, the reconstruction of events.

Things vs processes: What do we mischaracterize?
"Things" focus on static natures ("that cat"); process focus on dynamics ("it's raining"). Cats too are impermanent, but we don't say "catting".
We have a strong things bias. What do we mischaracterize by thinking about things not processes?
