[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Even at places like Harvard or Stanford, professors complain students are not prepared for college. In Purdue, which isn’t easy to get into for engineering and CS, professors complain that most of their class are using AI and not learning the material. These colleges regularly turn away straight A students, so what is going on?[/quote] Because two things can be true at once. A large number of students with highly inflated GPAs are competing against one another for relatively few slots at “top colleges”. Because these students generally have benefitted from grade inflation and may be over reliant on technology aids they are not as well prepared academically or from a resiliency standpoint as kids were a generation or two ago. So colleges and professors have to provide remedial instruction or classes to get many “top kids” ready for traditional college level work. [/quote]
