As an attendee of Staffs Uni almost twenty years ago, was ever thus. I remember at the beginning of one of the modules for my BSc technology degree the lecturer informed us all that they wouldn’t be teaching us anything about the software we were then expected to use extensively for that module. Madness.
and so it begins… Knew this was coming. Education really needs a proper shakeup but knowing how the UK is run i doubt we’ll get anything before AI has progressed 100 fold.
Shithole uni, going there is legitimately probably one of my biggest life regrets, so I’m not even vaguely surprised to read this
E: Would just like to point out that my actual course leader was great, but he was the only competent staff member I interacted with my entire time there
So I remember asking my lecturer in Uni 10 years ago why are we not taught how to use more skilled based stuff (often just thrown into subjects and lectures and left the research the rest) etc.
Explained to me like this, this is a university not a polytechnic. University’s are about theoretical and academic research, for skills you go to polytechnic.
Which is all fine and good but all polytechnic are uni now.
It almost seems like people working in the Higher Education sector want to make their jobs redundant.
Really struggling to understand what students are paying £9k a year for at this point. If you have to use AI to lead the course, then maybe the Uni is worth actually just shutting down.
Students cannot really be expected to do due diligence or be in line for the full impact of caveat emptor. Universities at the bottom end of the food chain are at more financial risk than the Russell Group and other luminaries. They are perhaps more likely to, shall I say, cut corners, as they have less to protect and in a way, more to profit from. I say this having sponsored a student at Staffs Uni in the noughties, and they weren’t that switched on then.
Students taught by ai, student essays increasingly written by ai, graded by ai.
It’s a weird time for education
