The Anthropic Education Report showed 50% of Claude conversations about grading delegated assessment to the AI. How does one actually design AI-resistant assignments?
In der Welt der wissenschaftlichen Publikationen liegen viele Diamanten noch verborgen: Frei zugängliche Schätze, die weder Autor*innen noch Lesenden Gebühren verursachen und der wissenschaftlichen Gemeinschaft gehören.

NoteReviewers Ryan Peterson (2025-11-24). Patrick Breheny (2025-12-12). What connotation do you attach to the word “bias”? A negative one?

Appalachian History A New County on the Eve of War When the Civil War began, Wolfe County itself was only a year old. Created in 1860 from pieces of Breathitt, Morgan, Owsley, and Powell Counties, it became Kentucky’s one-hundred-tenth county, with its seat at the little river town of Campton. That timing helps explain why wartime records can be confusing.
