The teacher notes in the thread (https://x.com/freganmitts/status/1828796730634330593 https://x.com/freganmitts/status/1828796730634330593) that this is not a GE class, and as it's peer-conversation based, so there was some basis for helping students get to know each other. I definitely took many classes in college for reasons other than getting credit, and I hope you did / do too!

If it's a peer conversation class, perhaps it would have been more appropriate for them to report what another student told them what they hoped to get out of the class...

Then why make it a written assignment? If it's a peer-conversation based non-GE class, why not ask them to stand up for two minutes and do the awkward intro thing in person on their first day? Then the professor could have had a dialog about what students hope to get from her class, if she really cared. This was pointless busywork through and through, the kind I'd expect ChatGPT to create for a lazy educator.

Exactly, I was CS, but took Psychology classes for my own interest. It was fun bringing a different point of view and only realizing it once we started discussing the reading material. One time in a small seminar class on mental models the professor asked us to each draw a tree. Only once we were done and everyone started sharing their tree did I realize that I had gone straight to a directed acyclic graph. I completely forgot about the green leafy things. Everyone had a good laugh, and it was actually a good example for what were talking about. Asking ChatGPT for what I should say during a class is just play acting at education. Really feels liek a waste of time and money.

I took zero that didn't fulfill a requirement. I presume anything else would have been cost more in time and money than value I'd get from it. It would almost certainly delayed graduation and sucked up free time and added stress.
