RE: The Stupidity of Hivewatchers
The adjustment to educational practices is kinda what should be happening anyway, it's just kind of hard and labour intensive to do so: Show your working.
A timeless curse of mathematics classes, something which would reliably filter out the fakes even in our art classes and, if it was possible yet, in my own music classes. The journey is, after all, much more valuable than the outcome @tarazkp ;)
It may be the case that ultimately, students will have to have office time with professors to demonstrate their human capabilities when compared with their submissions. I can imagine this being rather torturous if you have like 1,000 students, but there will be ways to implement it, i'm sure.
To me, simply handing in an essay or dissertation in Uni was never enough to begin with
I remember one of my sons struggling with geometry proofs because he was so used to doing extensive math calculations in his head. He just couldn’t slow down enough to write down every step.
He once failed a multiple choice chemistry test where he got 96% of the answers correct but did not heed the instructions to “show your work.”
That requirement can be brutal for kids like him.
Even so, simply learning to follow directions is an important life skill.
It is hard to fake when you have to show every step.
