Maybe I have a thing for the academic equivalent of bad boys, which is supervisors who come up with crazy ideas that sound impossible at first, but after thinking about them deeply, you realize they are actually brilliant
MIT published a brutally honest report on what AI is doing to students.
A committee of professors and students spent five months studying how AI changed learning on campus, and the findings read like a warning to every university on the planet.
Study groups are disappearing. Office hours are emptying out. Problem sets and take-home exams no longer prove anything, because AI can produce credible solutions to almost any written assignment in the undergraduate curriculum. Students who lean on chatbots lose mastery and confidence, and some slip into what the report calls cognitive surrender, reaching for AI at the first hint of struggle.
The numbers are rough. 46 percent of surveyed MIT undergrads use LLMs daily. 90 percent worry about their own overreliance. Undergrads who feel AI makes them replaceable now outnumber those who feel it makes them capable.
The committee's answer surprised me. They refused to fight AI with surveillance. The report calls AI detectors unreliable, says lockdown browsers feel like spying, and warns that policing students builds a classroom atmosphere of mutual distrust.
Instead, MIT wants to rebuild education around the things AI can't replace. That means oral exams, semester portfolios, in-person project work, and a required social component in every subject. The report even floats the idea of rethinking grades entirely, since without a GPA to optimize, much of the incentive to cheat with AI evaporates.
The committee warns professors against replacing undergrad research assistants with AI agents just because they're cheaper, because a university exists to grow people, not output.
The most famous tech school on earth admitted the machines broke its way of teaching. Its answer is more humans, not more software.
@ehsankmi و بگذار این هم اضافه کنم که بعضا انقدر تسکهای مختلفی که سریع باید سوییچ بشن دارن، که گاها کارهای مربوط به آمادهسازی کورسها رو دانشجوها انجام میدن و اساتید فقط پشت دوربین تدریس میکنن.
@ehsankmi این رو هم در نظر بگیر که پایه کار ما کد زدن هستن ولی اکثر اساتید بعد از PhD دیگه کد نزدن.
و نمیدونم آیا تا بحال با LMS سمت اساتید کار کردید یا نه؟ واقعا برنامه نویس رو استخدام کردن و گفتن چیزی بزن که شبیه هیچ سایت استانداردی نباشه!
Just deleted Duolingo. Banning Iranian students based on their passport and stripping away their access to the Duolingo English Test is pure discrimination. Academic sanctions only hurt regular people who just want an education. Done with this platform.

1.1/ An ACM article titled "Computing Education When Writing Code Is No Longer the Challenge," which, for the short term, suggests a one-to-one problem-solving discussion rather than a cold assignment. Also, emphasized redesigning courses and scopes as a long-term goal.
2.1/ Reinventing Teaching After the Introduction of AI, from a Georgia Tech professor, emphasizing teaching students how to use AI for their assignments and redesigning courses. The biggest question that comes to my mind is what would be taught to students regarding using AI \
For this reason, I have decided to use this space as an ongoing series where I share what I read and watch about education, teaching, and learning, and occasionally add my own reflections and reviews.
To explore these questions, I read and watch different ideas and approaches to education. Not to accept or reject an idea too quickly, and instead, I want to understand distinct perspectives and gradually develop my own approach to teaching.
هر کسی رو میبینم داره برای برگشتن به زندگی "نسبتا نرمال" قبل از دی ماه تقلا میکنه.
از دور به نظر میاد پروداکتیوی و همه چیز روی رواله اما، با دقت که نگاه میکنی میبینی انگار که این فقط یک پوستین تقلبی شبیه به تلاش کردنه.
