I think that you are right, in that this would probably prepare students for jobs very well. However, I think that a Bachelor's degree is supposed to be about something other than job training. Sure, there is some overlapping material between "prepare for a job" and "get a Bachelor's degree," but not very much. People who have a Bachelor's are expected to have knowledge that is both broad and deep. That is, they are expected to know far more than they need to know, and have skills outside of their area of expertise. Not that there is anything wrong with your approach, I just think that it disagrees with the overall goals of a standard university degree program, which is not terribly concerned about job preparation. If you can just copy and paste answers, with source, then you haven't actually learned anything (technically, you might have, but there is nothing in your work to support this conclusion - unknowledgeable until proven knowledgeable). The grade you receive should be a measure of the skills you have obtained, and the things that you have learned, rather than the results you produce. Sure, you can do this in the real world, but in the real world you are not trying to show what skills you have obtained, you are only asked to produce results - this is the major difference between the education environment and the work environment. |
