This is ridiculous, in my uni is pen and paper, and people with physical or mental disabilities get accommodations so they can perform as good as other people, I myself have some due to autism. What is not OK is just to give a medium to enable cheaters like this.

Oh, even your students that are unable to use a pen and paper? Neat, don’t know how they do it

Yeah, it’s interesting seeing some professors complaining about how AI has made catching cheaters harder now. But then you see that they are letting students have access to phones and laptops during exam with no software/Internet restriction and you think…yeah I wonder why…what could possibly be done… Not allow them those devices for a subject like history during an exam? No impossible. When I brought it up here a teacher went lol but they have phones and tablets. As if its not worth even trying to prevent. And also they said they didn’t want to do paper and pencil either because its too much work to grade. There are programs that completely lock down laptops for exams preventing you from using internet, going to the desktop, open other docs, etc so its not like it has to be paper and pencil to prevent AI usage. But, its like some professors just can’t wrap their head around the concept of not allowing full access to electronics or none at all despite the subject matter not being something like programming, but history.
