I shouldn't be surprised by her stupidity at this point, but I'm honestly shocked that she's dumb enough to just tell people once again that she's copying and reading summaries/essay extracts when she hasn't even read the book yet.
She couldn't make it more obvious that she has no interest in engaging with the learning process and will be applying her AXATAR cheating repertoire again:
- Avoid reading the main texts.
- Read a SparkNotes summary instead.
- Read some short critical essays to find a central argument you'd like to steal from someone else.
- Quickly skim-read the text to find quotes that support "your" argument.
Arrange study interrogations before and after every lecture and seminar with Blakeney to pester her for thoughts, ideas and talking points. Ask ChatGPT for thoughts, ideas and talking points.
- Send tutor an essay-length email full of leading questions to get them to furnish you with even more ideas.
- Slap together a Frankensteined essay from all your stolen materials.
- Profit.
She outed herself with this at undergrad, so it's nothing new, but her openly announcing again that she's
bleeping around with summaries and essays before even attempting the core reading is mind-boggling, especially with her proudly talking about her newfound reliance on ChatGPT lately. You're not supposed to tell people that you're cheating, Ruby!
Even if you believe her lies and believe she JANUINELY reads the book after, for someone who claims to have such a high intelligence and a huge passion for reading and learning, it's not a good look for her to say that she constantly needs study guides, essays and character breakdowns in place ahead of time for a "foundational grounding" before she can understand and come up with thoughts on a basic text.
