Nobody should be using GPT detectors for anything important.

This is from a recent study that found that GPT detectors were misclassifying writing by non-native English speakers as AI-generated 48-76% of the time (!!!), compared to 0%-12% for native speakers.

It is irresponsible to use AI-generated text detectors as evidence of academic misconduct, and that's putting it mildly.

When I get contradictory comments from my peer reviewers...

[phdstudygirl]

Lol, that’s how I feel when I get contradictory feedback from my committee members…

[phdstudygirl]

Finally got the last of the feedback and approval on my dissertation proposal. I am officially ABD!

things to change about your study strategy if it isn't working

switch from paper to digital or visa versa, or switch it up every couple of weeks

stop trying to make things pretty if it's stressing you out

switch to handwritten notes, or try re-writing your notes after class

change the paper you're using, try a different pen

start using highlighters

try bullet journaling, it doesn't need to be pretty

if a physical planner isn't working, try a digital one like notion

try reading audiobooks instead

look into supplemental material on your class, e.g. crash course

work in a different place

change the music you listen to, i suggest nintendo and chill on spotify

take more/less breaks

change the time of day you study at

[cheshire-castle-library]

Change the intent of your notes, instead of "saving information for later" try only writing down what's profound or you think will be hard to find in your textbook

Pretend you are taking notes to teach someon3 else later (even make a post about what you learned, studyblrs love hearing what each other is learning!)

Look into digital knowledge systems like Obsidian and start making conscious connections with the notes you take in class (this is called a Zettelkasten system)

Write notes in your own words instead of copying lectures or textbooks, if the wording is important make it a quote and attribute it to your teacher!

Use post it notes in the margins to call out important information from textbooks, and highlight what you don't feel like or cant reform in your own words

I cannot advocate enough how helpful it is to change things up every now and then.

Adult realization: you will make mistakes, you will act irrationally. You will commit some wrongs that cannot be fully righted. People will dislike you and misunderstand you for all sorts of reasons. None of these make you a bad person. All you can do is try your best to be kind and just to people, grow and learn.

Learning never stops, so we better keep on taking chances.

I like those notebooks.

Spent part of the weekend setting up a new bullet journal. Cue massive boost of motivation that always comes with a new planner.
