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.
The accommodations are other life skills that they are lacking in. I think oral examinations would really highlight weak points for a lot of people and they would seek exemptions that are easier.
I’m not saying that you don’t assist people with learning, but I think testing and learning are two different beasts. I think having a uniform standard for testing is a good thing, I’m all for oral examinations or proctored written tests, but I worry about all of the people that will seek exemptions from it because they can’t perform to the same standards on those tasks. It’s degrading to the letter grade of everyone else.
I do think that it is the responsibility of every student to study and find resources that best fit their learning style.
Is Education there to teach material or life skills? Yes, it’s important for Students to learn how to learn, but the institution SHOULD be trying to reach as many as possible. There should be guidance for people who learn differently. You certainly aren’t taught HOW you learn, but it is worth any institutions effort to assist.
I don’t support the idea that everyone need learn and consider topics in the same way. One Method for Everyone is how we get this Lowest Common Denominator, Min/Max bullshit.
