I appreciate your thoughtful response. I failed to communicate my point. An untimed power test has a deadline. It’s also not about memorization. You use all of the resources at your disposal to complete the test by the deadline. The only rule is that you aren’t allowed to collaborate, and this rule is enforced by comparing the students’ answers after submission of the test. As an aside: I’m not sure if you were trying to argue that a UPT isn’t appropriate for industry. Whether or not a university’s job has to do with industry (or if it’s being done appropriately) is a different discussion I have no interest in pursuing here or elsewhere on HN. That being said, it’s been proven by decades of research universally saying that the UPT is the ultimate tool for ensuring that the universities have done their job. The point of my response was to communicate that ChatGPT has made it much harder to administer these types of exams because it’s so difficult to detect cheating. This is very different than saying ChatGPT is cheating. It’s not; it just makes students’ who use ChatGPT have such similar answers that you can’t tell if they cheated. This forces exams back into in-person, timed settings (without open internet access). It’s a miserable environment for someone with the aforementioned problems (anxiety, slow test-taking, dyslexia, etc.).
