Writing specifically, I'll concede may need some oversight to prevent LLM use.
In general though, we should be looking at how to re-design assignments to demonstrate an understanding without being a large block of text, atleast imo.
We (Or atleast, my school) started teaching us how to use a calculator in things like Trig and Calc. It's not about 'can you divide correctly to arrive at the correct value of sin' but 'can you differentiate when to use sin vs cos', which I think was the more valuable lesson. But maybe LLMs are so powerful, or so 'do it all', that we just cannot compare it to the calculator (Not in their current iteration, but looking ahead...)
- nomel 7mo agoIn person proctored exams, with individually randomized questions from a large pool, along with written answers completed during the test, like required for state certifications, are probably the only answer. The popular way to get around video chat proctoring is to physically attach notes to your screen, so when you sweep the room with the built in camera, it doesn't see anything.
- dpoloncsak 7mo agoThis works in theory, I wonder if it's too resource intensive to be actually feasible though. You can't proctor work done at home, and you can't trust the parents, so you'd need 'homework centers' which sounds like a nightmare, or only administer these during class hours?
- nomel 7mo agoYeah, it would only make sense for in class exams, rather than coursework, and with exams being the majority of the grade. Back in high school, this is how the state exams were performed. We had an external proctor come in.
