you lost the game

Here's a copy of Bloom's Taxonomy, created by Benjamin Bloom and a committee of educators in 1956 and revised in 2001. This model of education has been used to inform teaching practice for decades.

You'll note that rote memorization is on the bottom of the pyramid, as it is foundational but not directly indicative of complex thinking. College level classes are usually aiming for the top three tiers of the pyramid: for students to be able to analyze, evaluate, and then use the knowledge to create for themselves. Themselves. College assignments and essays and tests are typically designed to have students demonstrate their ability to analyze, evaluate, and create with the content they are learning.

Formal assessments are how professors can determine whether their students are able to reach those higher tiers of learning and whether their own teaching methods are effective. Having AI write your essays:

prevents you from being able to achieve those higher tiers of critical thinking and learning since you aren't actually researching, analysing, applying, assessing, etc.

give your professors an inaccurate idea of whether you are in fact learning what you need to know

gives your professors a poor reference for how effective their teaching is.

Right. So firstly, considering it's a nineteenth century rabbi author we're talking about, I don't think the book you've read is likely to have been his. There have been many retellings since. But it's not impossible.

I need to find the source itself, because there's so much wrong about it that I really want to rewrite it with a degree of historical accuracy. Because it would be so very funny. But I think the primary problem is that Maharal and the British Museum didn't coexist, and both are featured in this story. Apparently.

And they meant it - we would get reprimanded if the boss heard us saying "no problem" to a customer.

Meanwhile other reviews for the same person will be like, "Very willing to talk and help, even outside of regular hours. All you have to do is show up and follow instructions and you will get an A."

It reminds me of one of my favorite professors in college. Before I took my first class with him, my roommate recognized his name and warned me that she had heard he was super sexist. I was alarmed, and spoke to the person who called him sexist and was very upset with how he treated her!

Yes! I have always empathized way more than I want to with David. Because my dad's job involved him being away 2-3 weeks a month during parts of my childhood, and required us to move from city to city every few years. To be clear, my parents are great — they're some of my best friends now we're adults, and they not only did everything they could to give us stability as kids but recently dropped everything to rush out and help me during a family emergency.

But it's not fucking easy to move around that much and have that much chaos at home. And I hope I have reasonable-quality social skills as an adult, but I wasn't always that way. I don't think I ever did anything seriously wrong — sucked up to bullies to avoid getting bulled myself, responded sarcastically when other kids tried to get real with me — but I also wasn't a great person as a preteen.

So like, I can feel my stomach curl up like a fist while reading some of those scenes with David. Like where he tries to join in with the in-joke about Tobias's Bird Opinions, only to have the Animorphs all turn on him because what the hell, you're going too far. Or where he doesn't fully understand what controllers are, and Marco scolds him for being naïve instead of explaining. Or where Jake orders him to live with Cassie, and David is baffled and hurt by the idea of a peer being in charge of his life. I've been David in those conversations.

You are transported back in time and into the body of a young noblewoman in the 1400s. Your parents have married you off to an awful, abusive, rapist husband whom literally no one else would marry despite him being very high nobility because he's that terrible. You successfully produce a baby boy and then plan to murder this man for the good of everyone and yourself. Here is the question: do you think you could murder him in a way that is undetectable to the historical people around you? Note: they aren't stupid, you are the prime suspect as the battered wife AND you can't just say poison. Where are you going to buy poison? Do you know anything about poison actually? NO GOOGLING! You were sent back without a plan!

Edit: my notes are full of murder. I love you all

Edit: to clarify about the poison, you can use poison if you actually know how to identify it, I'm saying you can't just go "Poison!" with no knowledge about poison. Buying it probably means they know that poison and you're caught. Your personal knowledge when you read this post is all you have.

Another point of clarity: You went through all that trouble to have a baby without modern medicine so you could get the sweet house after your husband died. That's why you can't be caught. No disappearing.

Edit again: Air embolisms are going on a high shelf because the syringe won't be invented for 350 years. Prove to me that you could make one from scratch, lol

I promise to stop making edits (lol): I left the country vague because I just wanted to see ideas for modern vs. past. Whatever place you are most knowledgeable about

I have started to really wonder if the people suggesting this have ever fought a man as a woman. I have three brothers and I wrestled with them a lot as a kid. They are way stronger than me. They started to be able to overpower me pretty young and I was six years older. Maybe I'm just a weak person, I'm not very athletic, but neither would Miss Noblewoman here be athletic.

I don't know, maybe this isn't everyone's experience, but I find the confidence in this sort of plan baffling. Also, if you try to push him down the stairs and he catches you? You are going down those stairs. You are dead. Game over.

Maybe it's because I didn't specify an age and everyone is imagining this guy as like, old and bloated. He's young and healthy. He will fight back. He's violent! Alcohol and violent man are not a mix you should encourage!

What you do is get rid of him the same way William II of England died— a Hunting Accident. For context, William II died out hunting, and it’s pretty clear it probably wasn’t an accident. What you do is you tell your brothers what’s going on— they’ve probably seen or at least heard (if they’re not present a lot) what your husband does, and how the threat of losing your dowry hasn’t worked on him. They’ll help engineer it so he gets injured or outright killed in a hunt.

Boars, a common hunting target, are super dangerous, as are harts (fully grown stags). Richard II of England’s boyfriend Robert de Vere died from being gored by a boar a few years before (1392), so there are plenty of high-profile legitimate accidents in recent memory. All your accomplices have to do is let him get attacked by an animal and not rescue him, or shoot him with a wayward arrow and let it be an accident.

This is the correct answer for a medieval noblewoman -- hunting is basically THE aristocratic pastime, after all, and if MC's husband is so famously awful nobody else will even marry him, she could probably find some people to cooperate pretty easily, including family (it's a matter of honor after all). Especially if the succession is secure.
