Professors Say AI Is Destroying Their Students' Ability to Think - SLRPNK

Lemmy

what they’re doing to push back against the tech.

Classify it as a cheating tool.

Works in theory, but not in practice, as there are no tools that can tell 100% reliably if something was written by AI. Best way IMO to test students is via oral exams. Let them explain certain things and topics they allegedly wrote about in their thesis; that way you can quickly see who actually bothered to learn and understand and not only let their thesis write by AI.
They should bring back oral exams and blue books.

This is it. Stop it with these take-home test. Homework was always bullshit.

But then professors and teachers would have to think themselves instead of regurgitating the same lesson plan and worksheets from two decades ago

Hot take incoming: good public school teachers are criminally underpaid. Most teachers are paid exactly what they’re worth.

oh but some professors and even TA have thier own things to do, like research, research papers. when i was in university last decade one of professors was doing research on the side, which took most of his attention away from the class the whole semester, the TA wasnt any better she had her own MS thesis/research to do at the same time. basically dint learn anything with animal/bio physiology.
