What's crazy is universities have an incentive to flag your work as AI generated as it forces the student to pay more money and is difficult to challenge. When I started uni (slovenia, 2007) the rules were simple: You are adults. The final exam (written + oral) is 100% of your grade. We don’t have the time or willingness to police what you do. Strongly recommend attending classes and doing homework but whatever it’s your life. If you get high enough scores on the optional midterms, you can skip the written portion of the exam. It was pretty great. Yes we all tried to cram for exams at the last moment. No it didn’t work very well. Needing 2 or 3 tries to pass was common. Then later we got the bologna system. Professors stopped bragging about fail rates. Students passing became an actual thing they were evaluated on. Homework became graded, midterms were mandatory and part of your grade, attendance was tracked, etc. College became like high school. More people passed but I think something was lost about teaching adulthood. For the record: I didn’t graduate. My freelance business got too busy and I could not keep up with both. |
