Students are relying on AI so heavily that universities are being forced to fundamentally rethink how they grade their work.
England’s higher education regulator, the Office for Students, is warning universities that they may need to replace traditional take-home essays and open-book exams with supervised assessments that prevent students from relying on artificial intelligence to do their work.
AI-detection tools are too unreliable to consistently determine whether students have used the technology, the OfS said in a report published Wednesday.
where I live, supervised exams are still the norm, but if you bother lookibg arround during the test you will quickly notice thwt pretty mcuh everyone is still cheating
Cheating how? If the exams are not silly copy pasting of raw knowledge and actual require to use intelligence to create a solution (as they should at this level), only having some hidden notes will not help much and this is not a big issue. It is still much better than delegating the thinking to an AI.
That wasn’t my experience.
Exams at my university were supervised not just by the professor but all of his TA’s, who kind of patrolled the room. It would be very hard to cheat without someone noticing.
And I’m glad for it. Cheating should require creativity and effort.
