This is a solution and one lots of people are going to. It works. It’s also pedagogically terrible. Fundamentally ableist in structure. It assesses skills that are not the relevant skills for any meaningful intellectual activity. It represses skills that are meaningful. I don’t have an answer.
I have a simple solution to this. Grade students entirely by means of three hour hand-written exams in a big hall with no computers. If they all fail because they never learned to write without AI, sucks to be them
Nobody writes by hand, nobody needs to. There used to be computer labs with just software, students had to rely on themselves. Now those labs are too expensive to maintain, and they use their own laptops. Only time limits their access during exams (ableist too, no?). We pretend this is something.
