Reply to comment by Joyce1920 in ChatGPT: students could use AI to cheat, but it's a chance to rethink assessment altogether by calliope_kekule

Love this response and I agree wholeheartedly. It's not realistic for every student to do what I do. It's also not realistic for teachers to be able to make class engaging for everyone when they have so many students and so little time.

My favorite classes have been the ones where it's like 1 teacher and less than 10 students. They're amazing.

What you're describing is basically grad school. Graduate school is an amazing academic experience in the right circumstances. I really found my time as a grad student to be intellectually fulfilling.

Unfortunately, most universities also see grad students as a source of cheap labor, so they are generally ripe for exploitation. Basically, any discussion of grad school is going to result in me repeating my earlier points about capitalist ideology infiltrating academia.

You mean it wasn't a good idea for my university to prioritize the athletic department at the expense of all the other academic departments?
