I'm a current social science student and my degree is 80% coursework. I'm really curious how my uni will adapt to ChatGPT. I hope they don't go back to pen and paper exams. I actually love writing essays, I think it's a great skill to have and it would be a shame if my course gets rid of them.
The University system in the UK is corrupted and broken though. Far too many people, myself included, go to uni because "it's just what you do". Most University courses are oversubscribed and there are not enough job openings once you graduate unless you study STEM.
I really hope apprenticeships and the trades become more popular forms of work/study than uni. Sometimes I wish I took this route instead. Maybe this will be a wake-up call that uni isn't as useful as it once was 🤷♂️
