A Berkeley professor wrote about students cutting corners, but a detector flagged her op-ed

UC Berkeley teaching professor Zvezdelina Stankova argued that her calculus students’ readiness fell from 71% before test-blind admissions to 26% in 2023, citing diagnostic scores and disparities among Bay-Area schools. A Substack AI detector flagged her op-ed as roughly 33% AI-generated; Stankova confirmed she used AI for editing, sparking debate over disclosure and campus policies on machine-assisted writing.
