When a growth mindset environment emerges, “equality happens”.

Carol Dweck tells a story of a Chicago high school that distributed “Not Yet” grades instead of failing grades.
Carol Dweck relates the power of “yet”: When students see the word "yet", they build confidence to continue and persist with their learning, making mistakes and working from them.
Here is the TED talk by Carol Dweck on "the power of believing that you can improve": ted.com/talks/carol_dweck_the_

"What makes the ‘#growth mentality’ so appealing, Carol Dweck discovered, is that it creates a passion for learning rather than this thirst for approval. Its hallmark is the belief that human qualities like intelligence and creativity, and even relational capacities like love and friendship, can be cultivated through effort and practice. Not only are people with this mindset not discouraged by failure, they don't actually see themselves as failures in these situations, they see themselves as learners."

'#Turnitin will launch a new service this year to detect the use of #AI paraphrasing tools, sometimes called "text spinners". This particular service won't help with detecting the use of AI-generated text. ... A #syllabus that embraced the use of AI tools would probably have more oral #assessments and fewer standard take-home #assignments, ... That could mean fewer essays'.

Still strikes me that #ChatGPT perfectly grasps the structure of #DOIs, but that it comes up with non-existing DOIs (ok, to be honest, one does exist in this example, but it points to a totally unrelated paper*). So, it's a good practice to ask students to include them in #assignments ;-)

*Although the reference titles and authors look reasonable, they do not match with existing works, as far as I know.
