idk, I did my problem sets in college, but haven't they always been kind of pointless? The textbook has one set of problems. A kid who is motivated enough can find the answers somewhere. If you want to learn, you should do them. But we can't really force the students to do them
The obvious right strategy seems to be more or less trivial grades weighting on psets; encouragement to do them; and then just evaluate students based on in-class closed-book exams
Now, essay classes are really kind of screwed. I guess you could just make kids write essays in timed exams. Maybe that's not a terrible strategy. But honestly I have no clue
@npparikh We assign problem sets, but there's a grading method which is final-only where they have zero weight. So if you want to yolo it you can go ahead
@npparikh I mean, you can, but you end up testing who is better at using AI, at the level I teach at, which seems a little pointless
