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. Doch wie findet man diese Diamanten? Wer darf sie definieren? Und wie stellt man sicher, dass sie sichtbar bleiben?

In the dying days of the Roman Republic, there existed a class of functionaries called nomenclatores . Their job was to whisper the names of approaching citizens into their patron’s ear so that the great man could greet each one as if they were intimates.

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 On a late September night in 1861, lamplight spilled from the tall windows of a brick mansion just south of Grayson. Inside Landsdowne Hall, a circle of young men passed plates around Dr. Andrew Jackson Landsdowne’s table and spoke in low voices about rifles, road junctions, and the long ride ahead toward Confederate lines in eastern Kentucky.

Appalachian History A New County on the Eve of War When the Civil War began, Wolfe County itself was only a year old.
