You can let them be adults by giving them homeworks but not grading them as part of the course. If they are mature enough, they will learn to use any tool “to learn” but what they learned would be evaluated in class (possible with pen and paper) …

But is it an assumption? this is the take home midterm (red) versus the in-class final (blue) for an econ class at Brown for each student (other than the 30% that dropped the class after they heard the final would be required in-class)

I had a homework question last year in linear algebra where unambiguously 42% of students used AI. That cohort did 22 percentage points worse on the corresponding midterm.

it is not about assuming all students would cheat, but it would be give students an advantage if they use ai to get a significant amount of credits for the homework. Students doing it without would have a disadvantage.

Academia is always slow to catch up, but the answer here is to change the questions. They should integrate AI usage intensely and have all the notations and work and steering as part of the answer answers of what should be far far more complex and open ended questions. Will take a bit more thinking by the professors.

I had to do in class pin and paper writing with a paper dictionary It was stressful but an unrivaled learning experience.

Im now following a course where we have an AI quiz every two weeks: we are given two AI generated solutions to homework problems and we need to decide which are correct (but only participation counts towards the grade)

5 minutes discussion about the given problems would do

Wouldn't making homework in google docs solve this problem, as it's history prooves no ai.

I find it kind of ironic putting "we should treat them like adults" and "we should give them homework" in the same thought. The only thing homework does is force them to study the material at the same pace the course goes, however that's not the best for everyone, there may be students who learn faster and it would force them to learn at an uncomfortable slow pace or students who learn slower and can't keep up. I agree that we should treat them like adults, which means not policing the way or pace they study at with homework like we do to high school kids and instead trusting in their ability to decide what's best for them. The only reason to give homework is if you don't trust the student to study otherwise which is reasonable for high school students, but I find it ridiculous for it to be the norm for adults in university.

I’ve always felt that homework should be a relatively minor part of the final grade. As I think the aim of hw is to reinforce learning done in class, it should be considered a check in along their way to mastery as opposed to something that can meaningfully dictate a final grade that should imo, reflect broad course level mastery.

I've got a forecast for the future of mathematics with AI and wanted to hear your opinion(i'm not english so I may misarticualte myself). Mathematics is adaptive, meaning it and the research of it is shaped by technology and society. For example mathematicians were mostly arithmets in the early days, then calculation machines were invented. What did the arithmets do, they became the engineers and therists of said machines, computer science was born. These days aren't different, we have a new technology AI(which is just pure mathematics realy), and it reforms how mathematicans work. But mathematics as such will stay, the question is how mathematicans will work in this new world. There is this process Hegel describes the dialectic. Meaning you have a concept, you analyse it's limitations, from them you build a anti concept as a barierr, the current concept developes to surpas this barierr concluding in a new concept. I think mathematicans will work far more in a creative role, not that technical, and construct new theorems or ideas using AI. But I don't think that will mean mathematicans won't learn these techniques, like we today have calculators but still learn arithmetics to understand further concepts. But what do you think about the future, i'm still a student at school and really don't know what to do💔

i think this is much more a recognition of how frequent cheating has become with or without ai. ai just makes it easier to spot

Teachers refusing to modify their methods to adapt. Hardly the first time dinosaurs will go extinct.

As a GA at an R1, most students are cheating on their homework. It's really unfortunate bc as you mention, home prep is valuable, but now it punishes honest students who make mistakes with a bad hw grade

Except in a few years you will be seeing the lack of thinking skills ‘grow’ in college and grad work. Secondary schools are dinging this out now. It is going up the ladder. Some kids will learn and ai makes that easier but most will do as we see now, which is lose critical thinking ability.

too many professors have a vindictive gatekeeping attitude towards their job. it makes me wonder if they even want to teach if given the choice. that being said the point of homework is for the edification of the student and if they fail to do it correctly that's just life and they'll do poorly on the test.

You are discounting several issues. One issue is that public universities have tax payer funds and have a duty to the taxpayers as well as the students. Taxpayers expect the students to learn the material. You are saying that the students will just be cheating themselves if they don't learn. I have a duty to the taxpayers who fund the institution as well as the student. Another concern is the reputation of the institution. If graduates don't have the expected competencies then the institution's reputation will suffer. I am at a university to educate the student and not find the answer to a problem I already know. It's as if you are saying it's okay to pay someone to complete a homework assignment.

It’s not cheating if the fail exams.
