It is SUCH a weird time to be a #writing professor whose background is actually in #ComputationalLinguistics and #CognitiveScience.

SO much being written about LLMs and what they mean for first-year composition and I end up doing a lot of explaining/debunking with colleagues, but they’re not wrong to worry. The collision of these LLMs and students whose pandemic high school years left them underprepared for college is…creating a really complicated environment for these #pedagogy conversations.

(Ha, only took me about a month here to write a toot that uses all 500 characters. That was something that always brought me silly joy, back on the birdsite, especially back with the old 140 limit. 500 is so spacious but I sure can fill it!)
