>The university agreed to several of their demands, including that, “A group of (mostly senior) faculty will review the introductory programming courses to ensure that they are inclusive of students from all backgrounds.” A working group was formed and it produced a set of recommendations. These included: [...] A reduction in the amount of effort expended pursuing cheating cases by 50 percent
That's a huge insult directed at exactly the student they claim to be supporting.
- downerending 7y agoWorse yet, it devalues the degree they're working so hard for (and paying so much for). As many here can attest, we already have a significant problem with people passing through CS/etc programs and coming out the other end without being able to write a fizz-buzz off the top of their heads. Looking at current curricula, it strikes me as noticeably dumbed down, compared to the no-name program I went through several decades ago.
