My sense is that if writing was entirely optional, it would be too easy for students to let it slide; having 10% count toward your grade is a good "nudge" to get honest students to actually do the work. I'd just give a little admonition at the beginning saying that I'm not going to bother checking if you use LLMs, but if you do you're an idiot, because you'll be completely unprepared for the hand-written essay you have to compose yourself in the exams.
- another-dave 2y agoYeah I think that's their rationale for doing it now alright but I mean rather getting into a big rigmarole of AI checkers & plagiarism checkers just trust students initiative to do the work, or not, and let the chips fall where they may come exam time. University students should be capable enough for that, different at secondary level
