Then why issue homework at all?

[–] stardreamer@lemmy.blahaj.zone 6 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Because the goal is to get people to learn/think about something. We don't care what you use as long as you retain knowledge taught in the course. If what helps you learn is LLMs, then go for it.

Problem right now is there is a significant amount of people that are using these tools to do the thinking for them. And this is when Office Hours, Homework feedback, Email (I guarantee all students emails are responded to within 24hrs. Most are handled within 30 minutes) are all available and paid for (by tuition). I am even happy to schedule one-on-ones if privacy is a concern, but none of this is being utilized.

Yeah this is having a huge negative impact on industry. New grads expect step by step process for every task. Every year there is less ability to solve problems. I don't know what the solution is but even if we remove llms from the conversation we have an issue with graduates not being able to problem solve. Add on top of that the influence of social media and the constant fear of being wrong and you end up with paralysis once these individuals enter the workforce and are required to solve bespoke problems.
