Ah. Right. Glanced right over that.

So, games have started showing up on ESPN.

Thanks. Hope they have it ironed out for tomorrow.

I haven’t been able to find where WSL games are available in the U.S. this year. Seems like you might know?

Doesn’t look like it, but I also can’t find where to watch in the U.S. outside of, maybe, the WSL YouTube channel. Was also hoping someone on here would know.

Maybe need a label other than “friendly” for this one.

Yeah. I was expecting Kelsy for Antony with a formation change. Fernandez is such a versatile player, would’ve kept him for later instead of as 1:1 for Antony. When Kelsy came on for Chara, I felt like organization started to come apart.

Thanks for pointing out the age of the team. It’s easy to forget how young they are. I think seven of the outfield starters last night were under twenty-five. Hard not to wonder how things would’ve gone if Neville had been on the sidelines to help manage the game.

But who knows? Maybe my classes are full of AI slop. I don't think that's true, but I do hate the way the existence of things like ChatGPT lead to moments where I start assuming bad faith on the part of my students.

I've tried to take grades out of my classes as much as possible. I provide feedback on assignments, but not grades. I involve students in assessing their own work. When I finally assign grades at the end of the term, I base those on a student's whole body of work.

I also think that the political and media focus on elite colleges and universities likely distorts impressions of how widespread AI use is in higher ed; none of the students I teach have any sense of entitlement when it comes to the place they have the university or to earning a degree.

The reduction of education to credentialing is long standing in the U.S. If that's the goal, earning the credential, and not learning, it's easy to see why a student would resort to cheating, especially when fearing failure on a high stakes assignment.

To expand on the term paper example, unless a teacher strictly defines the pool of research to sources that they know well, you pretty much need to focus on things like structure and citation practices to assign a grade. ChatGPT is a pretty good tool for gaming assignments like this.

Conventional tools for assessment of learning, like tests and term papers, not only contribute to the perception of high stakes, but also open the door to cheating. These tools are either, ultimately, graded on form rather than content or require simple recitation of material. Both are easy to game.

In my experience teaching at a regional public university in the U.S., students cheat in response to pressure; pressure from balancing all of their responsibilities (school, work, care), pressure from the perceived high stakes of assignments and grades.
