  • And the solution is so simple. You can just have proctored exams in person, or you can make people give live presentations and ask them questions. We all know how to do these things. We’ve done them for decades.

    My professor, you don’t need the administration to tell you what to do. I just told you what to do. So go do that, and then you can tell the administration what you’re doing, and they’ll say hey, good job, thank you for doing the obvious thing.

    And it’s not like we’ve never seen this happen before. There was a time when graphing calculators started being permitted into math tests. And you could no longer ask all of the same questions that you asked before, because some people would just solve them with a couple of button clicks. It’s so natural that you have to change the assessment based on the current state of the world. But many professors are incredibly lazy, and they’d rather complain than do so.
