"...in-person exams, hand-written, with no access to devices..."
Maybe for math and subjects of that nature, but do you think your average college student could write out a 1000 word essay, or longer, without their hand falling off?
I have been typing for so long that it is physically difficult for me to do that while trying to think of what to write. Maybe I am too basic...well, probably...but I would assume the same for many other keyboard jockeys...
- davee5 3y agoJust today I attended a 4th grade parents orientation at a Silicon Valley school where they noted they will be placing new emphasis on handwriting and cursive, specifically in order to build up legibility and hand stamina specifically for extended written exams. The teachers are anticipating a return to hand written testing at high school and college levels in the AI-assisted present/future, so they are preparing students accordingly. (Then we visited the coding class and STEAM classrooms. It's not a Luddite reaction, more of a practical response to witnessed trends.) The grade school pendulum has already started to swing from Chromebooks back to bluebooks.
