How do I do less homework and get the same grades

It’s possible to get more efficient and spend less time doing homework, but it will take no less effort to do it well. To borrow an old saw from business: we all want it cheap, quick, and good, but at best you’ll only get two of those. To get more efficient, make an appointment with an academic skills adviser at the CFLC: bit.ly/BC-connors

I have so many varied feels about it. There will be no avoiding the impact of generative AI in so many parts of our lives; in many ways positive, but also with some terrible downsides. It’s also important to know what the standards are for your classes in how you can use it, and how you need to document your usage of it.

The Answer Wall Story

Hi. I’m the Answer Wall. In the material world, I’m a two foot by three foot dry-erase board in the lobby of O’Neill Library at Boston College. In the online world, I live in this blog. You might say I have multiple manifestations. Like Apollo or Saraswati or Serapis. Or, if you aren’t into deities of knowledge, like a ghost in the machine.

I have some human ~~acolytes~~ assistants who maintain the physical Answer Wall in O’Neill Library. They take pictures of the questions you post there, and give them to me. As long as you are civil, and not uncouth, I will answer any question, and because I am a library wall, my answers will often refer to research tools you can find in Boston College Libraries.

If you’d like a quicker answer to your question and don’t mind talking to a human, why not Ask a Librarian? Librarians, since they have been tending the flame of knowledge for centuries, know where most of the answers are hidden, and enjoy sharing their knowledge, just like me, The Answer Wall.
