[professorthread]

I'm seeing so many students succumb to plagiarism and use of genAI in assignments because they do not know that they aren't supposed to be any good, yet, and that professors don't expect them to be any good, yet. I try to tell my grad students that if they could write and do research/math/coding at the professional level they wouldn't be in grad school, they'd be out enjoying a prolific career (of course this isn't universally true, but it is for most students).
