At a recent committee meeting, during a discussion of AI, a faculty member commented that there is an AI integrated into assignments on Canvas, such that when there was a reading associated with an assignment, they were asked if they wanted a bullet point summary of the reading. Is this a Canvas-wide thing, is it student-facing, is it a local implementation thing; does anyone have any knowledge or insights about this? They just presented this as a thing and didn’t have any more information but I am curious about it. I already have concerns about students actually doing any of the work – this would be the icing on the cake!

Did anyone else hear it?
Any ideas what it was?

My migraines start with a pinpoint blind spot in the middle of my visual field, and within five minutes spread to tunnel vision with a full glimmering aura before headache and nausea and sensitivities etc. If I take Fioronal at the first sign, either the pinpoint or usually, since I typically wait 5 minutes, for the tunnel vision with the glimmering shimmering kaleidoscope jagged aura, after the med, then it recedes within 15 minutes and is gone within 1/2 hour, and I don’t get the headache and nausea.

I’ve been getting them about every three weeks now. Yesterday I had one, sitting in a chair in the back room with bright windows in front of me, wearing older Rx glasses. Today at the same time of day I was sitting in the same place, same glasses, when I started getting the pinpoint blind spot so I knew one was coming. Instead of taking my meds, I went into a dark room and changed to dark glasses with the current Rx, and it seemed to recede. It didn’t get worse, and I never got the full aura, although I got some mild nausea and mild headache, which I don’t get on the meds.

Could the light and old glasses be a trigger?

I was told that Dairy Queen acquired Orange Julius and you can get Orange Julius at Dairy Queen. True/False or info?

Student writes: my final grade calculates
to a 79.5%. I am just wondering if this would be a C+ or a B- according to the syllabus?”.
This is the literal example given in the syllabus, following where it says grades round up at .5

Kudos to the student for being able to do the math, but why are they asking me what the syllabus says instead of actually consulting the syllabus? It’s right there on the lms, where they actually had to message me from.

They would rather bother me than actually click on a link.
