Mm.

And, uh, particularly in English 101, where they had to, or where we teach our students how to write a summary from multiple sources, and then to synthesize on a specific topic from multiple sources.

Well, some of them, the easy way, they sort of prompted ChatGPT to give them, um, uh, a, different extracts, and they were all over the place.

The first one has to do with what is one thing you're doing right now in any of your courses that you are particularly pleased with? That you feel this is something that you're proud of, something that you've enjoyed, and something that you feel is still working, despite all the changes and all the upheaval we've had to deal with.

I think one of the things that makes me very happy is when m- students from English 101 move to English 102, and then they say, they tell me, "I did not find it difficult because you taught me how to synthesize, and you taught me how to bring the pieces of the puzzle back together, and I can evaluate what I'm reading, and I can, uh, um, group ideas that are similar or different, or additions to, uh, another source." And, um, uh, that to me, in itself, says I, I did a good job.

Um, they know how to read, they know, they know how to discriminate what they're reading.

They un- understand, make the links between the ideas.
