[quote=Anonymous]The issue for most of these colleges is size. DS’s lac has eliminated a lot of the problems talked about here. Curves are eliminated for the most part and if students do very poorly on an exam as a cohort, they have to meet 1-on-1 for corrections and then take a harder retake exam. Instead of freaking out about Ai and cheating, homework has become often supplementary to the course, and in person exams take focus as most of the course grade; these exams are oral. DS’s professor got sick of just evaluating problem sets, so now they do a weekly problem presentation where a student is assigned a graduate quantum mechanics problem and they’re expected to present the background concepts to start the problem, their solution to the question, and if it’s a lab-based problem, how they’d improve it. Classmates evaluate their explanation and professor evaluates accuracy and their ability to navigate complex content. You can’t do that in a class of 100 students.[/quote]
