- gedy 2y agoAgreed, but you know someone will shout bias or whatever
- metal_am 2y agoThat's how grad degrees are done. But there's simply not enough time to do this at an undergrad level with potentially hundreds of students.
- bnchrch 2y agoUnless... You have an AI listening and evaluating their oral exam. I know it sounds like a farce. Because it is. But it might also be a proper solution.
- michaelmior 2y agoNot really in my experience. That's how final PhD examinations are typically done. Outside of that, it's pretty rare. That said, PhD students are also regularly interacting with faculty members and discussing their work so it would be difficult to get by without actually knowing things.
- User23 2y agoToday’s first year undergraduate is roughly as literate as a sixth grader was a century ago. College was never meant to be a mass remedial education program and by attempting to be one it’s failing at its core mission. All this nannyware of various sorts is just more evidence, proof even, of how few of those students should even be there.
- UncleMeat 2y agoRough when you have 200 students.
- tverbeure 2y agoRough, but perfectly doable. It's how pretty much all my finals were done way back when. Classes of 200 and more.
- michaelmior 2y agoDepends on the institution. If you have one faculty member for all those students and no TAs (yes, this happens) then it's going to be rather c hallenging.
- mupuff1234 2y agoOr just regular written exams.
- BrenBarn 2y agoThat's mentioned towards the end. The problem is it requires much more time and labor to give oral exams.
- indymike 2y agoIf only there was a new labor saving technology that could be used...
- somnic 2y agoOr just any normal proctored exam?
- perrygeo 2y agoPaper and pencil or an air-gapped computer lab. This ain't rocket science.
- s08148692 2y agoImagine an oral c++ algorithms and data structures exam This isn't just essays, AI will happily output any known algorithm you ask for in a few seconds. CS coursework can be almost entirely automated in many cases
