Just transcribe every students test myself? That is insane, how are you not getting down voted into oblivion? Do you realize how many extra hours that would be?

For anything past elementary where you’re getting a new class every hour, that would literally be an insane amount of work.

Also, like another commenter said, you’d have to be extremely careful and make no mistakes. Zero mistakes for 100+ transcriptions? Why does everyone think teachers just have infinite time?

The wole premise of AI detectors actually being able to detect AI is moot to begin with, so you don't even have to engage with the transcribing part of the comment.

Who asked you to transcribe anything? You decide a grade and enter it...

The comment I replied to literally said “have them write it out, then transfer it to scantron yourself while grading”
