i much prefered writing notes on paper but i'd cry if i had to write an essay by hand, i hope those students aren't torturing themselves this way

Every English class at my uni has huge, like 10-page essays (can you even call them essays at this point?) where we cover scientific developments in our field we discovered in that month.

Everything is handwritten because "there were students who used LLMs, and they need to be sure at least some effort is put into admission". Like, just to spite on LLM users and all of us just in case.
