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.”
My university does “flipped” lectures/homework for a lot of the engineering courses and yeah it’s pretty dope a lot of the time, it’s an efficient way to do things… but it also means some students just don’t show up, and the professors tend not to like that (for a synchronous course).

TBH I hated when attendance was graded in college because I just did the course work instead of going to class most of the time. Engineering schools tend to have the worst teachers.
Yeah same, they tend to justify it as “professional development” but the thing is… the lesson is redundant because most of us have had jobs already lol
