    To answer the question: The professor assumes the email referred to 1900-1910 with “late 1900s”. As this was normal 20 years ago (and still gets used). He then gets upset realising the age difference between him and his student was likely the main contributor to this incorrect assumption.

    To ask a question back: From https://www.bucknell.edu/fac-staff/john-penniman, I read:

    John Penniman is Associate Professor and chair of Religious Studies

    I would say for religious studies it should be fine. But also for other areas, why can’t you use 1994 papers?




  • In person timed tests suffer from people under performing because of external circumstances. Also we should consider chatgpt as a tool that can be used like a calculator. If the answer to a test can be easily retrieved for a widely available tool, the test is only measuring performance that is no longer required. Where possible, ideally measuring performance is based on their skill during a larger time period regardless of the tools they might use. For example repeated in-person peer review sessions (without a specific time slot) could both improve once performance and generating evidence of performance over time while reducing effort from the staff
















  • To clarify a lot of confusion I see in the comments. This book considers a country to be invaded when:

    • At any point during the history of England, Whales, northern Ireland, Scotland, and or significant predecessors any army of theirs “invaded”,

    • Counting any part of the land that is now considered part of the UN country. So not only from when the country existed,

    • And being invaded meaning they had some control over, or fought conflicts in the territory.
