An online take home ‘closed book’ exam…? Even before days of AI, there would still be a ton of cheating lmao
well, even though hes right, looks like he’ll be looking for new work soon.
Why are professors allowing any kind of online testing? Like what did you expect?
At home, closed book, exam? This worked previously?
The old days of written by hand with pen and paper. Now lazy rampant ai cheating.
It’s been less than 15 years since I was in university, and at the time, all final exams involved printed paper exams, and you were allowed to bring a pencil or pen, eraser, and a clear water bottle with no writing on it.
No phones, no watches, no hats, no hoods, and if you needed to use the washroom during the exam someone would walk you down the hall and back.
Where did we go wrong?
Back in my day, we had to trudge to university, uphill both ways, through a blizzard, just to sit for a pen and paper exam. Kids have it good these days.
This is ubiquitous in universities. My partner is a lecturer at a global top 10 university. The large majority of the essays she receives have been written by AI, with an embarrassing number poorly done. The problem is that these schools are so reliant on international students, and this problem is so widespread, that the universities cannot afford to expel them for academic misconduct. So it festers, at the long-term expense of their reputation and academia as a whole.
“The message I received is that we don’t trust your judgment.”
I wouldn’t either. A take home exam with no proctoring? What did he expect?
In class exams – pencil and paper.
>“The message I received is that we don’t trust your judgment. We don’t care about your ethics. We care about getting marks out to students because that’s what they paid for, and we’re going to turn a blind eye to concerns about cheating,” he said.
this is what academia was devolving into before the AI avalanche. Students had been taught they had no future without a top degree, that they’re supposed to „advocate“ and „speak up“ for themselves, while at the same time in a world drowned in marketing everything is a product and everyone is a consumer.
the result was universities which became supermarkets selling As and Bs because „that’s what the students paid for.“ It’s expensive to expel someone, lose years of tuition and risk them or their mother whining on twitter or in a newspaper and causing others not to attend your school, leading to your school’s position slipping in the academic marketplace.
