Relentless advancement to produce new gen of seppos
I asked Wendy if I could read the paper she turned in, and when I opened the document, I was surprised to see the topic: critical pedagogy, the philosophy of education pioneered by Paulo Freire. The philosophy examines the influence of social and political forces on learning and classroom dynamics. Her opening line: “To what extent is schooling hindering students’ cognitive ability to think critically?” Later, I asked Wendy if she recognized the irony in using AI to write not just a paper on critical pedagogy but one that argues learning is what “makes us truly human.” She wasn’t sure what to make of the question. “I use AI a lot. Like, every day,” she said. “And I do believe it could take away that critical-thinking part. But it’s just — now that we rely on it, we can’t really imagine living without it.”
only problem is that public speaking is a skill. kinda sucks to have your skill in public speaking affecting your grade in an unrelated subject.
Any form of assessment has this issue regarding whichever medium happens to be employed. That why you generally need a few different types of assessments and not just one big one.
Yeah and also the question is “what did you think of the book?” Is super subjective. “It was informative I guess? What part of the book do you want me to address?”
Yeah that’s the idea, to get them to show their own thoughts about it.
It was pretty cool I guess.
Wow I learned so much.
And if they give vague non-answers like that you press them for details. What was so cool about it, what were some of the things you learnt, etc.
Alright, I see what you’re going for. Sorry for being snippy.
I think it might be part of me being on the spectrum where I get antsy around any sort of ambiguity.
