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.
I like the idea of an oral exam. You come prepared to present a topic and answer questions. You are allowed to reference your notes, cards, etc. on the fly.
My professional qualifications all had an oral exam board. Was some of the most nerve wracking things I ever had to stand/sit through.
My masters in classics had your full class grade based on a colloquium. I really enjoyed them, we were a cohort and got to see each others’ projects.
