You don't think professors at small liberal arts colleges take shortcuts as well?

LOL !

The prof is probably seeking reactions.

No sane or reasonable professor would make such an announcement; this prof made the statement in order to gauge the responses.

And the head of that particular academic department is already aware of the experiment.

OP here.

Update. No, this isn’t an experiment. This appears to be a case of an overwhelmed professor who might be on the spectrum and says (in his latest email to students) that he has ADHD.

He apparently said the same thing in one of his other classes and a parent posted about it in a parent group on FB. Similar to this thread, only from a different parent and involving a different class of his.

I advised my child to alert the adviser and director of undergraduate education for the program but am not going to involve myself.

Professor emailed students again last night and said he got permission to submit grades late — by 8 am today — and told them to all email him their preferences on using chatgpt for feedback (!?!?$), so that part of it had changed. He also said they all needed to get up between 6 and 7 am to check that their grades were accurate before he formally submitted them. So basically he invited like 60 new emails before he can submit grades in *checks watch* 53 minutes.

My child tells me this same professor always came to class unprepared, saying he hadn’t completed his slides for the lecture and instead they would read from the textbook, each student reading one sentence at a time.

Anyway, department heads are involved now. University brass might be too given the FB thread.

This professor deserves a promotion for showing his creativity. ChatGPT is an excellent tool that students and faculty should use to improve their work.

No it wouldn't. That's not how this works. ChatGPT can't tell its own writing from humans'.

I find it hard to believe a professor would confess this plan to the students.

If a problem comes up and the student feels his work has not been fairly evaluated, he can take it up with the professor and, if needed, the department chair once the grades come in.

No, the essays were turned in a while ago. Has nothing to do with being a deterrent for plagiarism. He wants to take a short cut.

But what reason would he have for stating it? I'm a teacher and I take plenty of short cuts as well, but I don't announce them in an email to families.

Too ethical, I guess.

A lawyer representing a man who sued an airline relied ChatGPT to help prepare a court filing. It did not go well. from NYTimes

I am a professor and I am shocked! Your son should go to the department chair. This is not ok.

I’m not. Is this an adjunct who became overwhelmed? Or is it a tenured professor going through a life crisis? I’ve seen a lot of things in my day.

Most smart lawyers will know how to use ChatGPT to their advantage. This isn’t it.

OP, what happened!

[Anonymous]

I got my Master's capstone back, and I don't think the prof even read the last half (40 pages). I got an A, but it was truly disappointing. I put so much work into it, and zero acknowledgement. Unfortunately, there are a lot of crappy profs out there.
