Well, what happens when the kids get to university and they have to hand write essay based exams?

I know these were big in the humanities, and where I came from, they were sometimes worth 30%-40% of the final grade.

This seems like setting the kids up for a rude awakening...and probably more mental health problems when they fall behind their peers, who had limited access to GPT and had to do things the old fashioned way...

Just my opinion...

When did you graduate? None of my humanities courses required handwriting and that was ten years ago. Plus all non-intro humanities courses were either take home exams over a few days or final papers.

2012.

I am from Canada, though, so that may make a difference.

We had these awful blue lined booklets where you put your student # on the front and just pretty much write for 2 hours.

You waited about 3-4 weeks to get your mark posted online.

I'm pretty sure it's still done that way today here...

My hand hurts just thinking about it...
