The while premise of "learn some stuff them take an exam on exactly that stuff" is pretty flawed, and that's the point. So much of the academic structure is about what's convenient for evaluation, rather than what's best for learning. Why not get rid of the exam and replace it with something else entirely? Who says we have to have exams at all?

Academia is going to have to focus on the latter anyway because we have AI, which is exactly the same: it’s only useful when you can evaluate the output for accuracy independently. But how do you do this without throwing out objectivity entirely? Maybe we need to move to apprenticeships?
