Imagine at least five students in your class have next to zero knowledge of what you’re about to teach. What might be the most useful way to show them? A text-heavy ppt slide with no pictures? Unlikely.
Rivers. The Cold War. Negative Numbers. Hydrocarbons.

It's becoming very obvious that generative AI is making all forms of non-exam assessment totally obsolete.

Goals without values are empty. Here's to leading an honorable life, not just a successful one.
