Will ChatGPT lead to homework being obsolete?
No, it'll just lead to a heavier emphasis on in-class work and exams for points and homework becoming something that's expected, but no longer graded.>No, you're not required to do the homework, but it's the only way you'll pass the class.I, for one, welcome a return to this way of doing things. Less for me to grade.
>>16929541Its basically impossible for me to find the formulas I need an how to use them in literally every single one of my lecture pdf's for my various engineering classes. It's not even about edge cases most of the time the questions themselves are fundamentally different. Google was the way students went about it before chatgpt is just its replacement.if students got some questions wrong on the hw it wasn't because they couldn't figure it out after solving it was because they couldn't find it on Google AI solves that.Overall I don't understand why teachers are so useless im basically self teaching everything online at this point.
>>16929626If you think engineering is about memorizing equations and how to plug numbers in, you're doing it wrong.
>>16929627If I have to use equations and symbols that aren't in the lecture notes they're doing it wrong.

>>16929541>>16929660uhhh, based grok?
>>16929657It's not about the fucking symbols, anon. If your lecturer is talking about, say, mechanics and talking about torques and methods of estimating vertical displacement, it shouldn't matter whether you're using T, τ, M, or fucking to symbolize torque. What matters is understanding the underlying relationships between physical properties and understanding the methods of problem-solving or approximating solutions for a particular situation.
>>16929660I'm honestly surprised ChatGPT even went along with it without erasing the message for "safety violations" or whatever.
>>16929541When I was in high school all my ap teachers told me with a wry smile that I would love college it was all tests. Turns out I dropped out of undergrad twice because teachers wanted me to beg them for letter grades when I obviously learned nothing from them.
>>16929677Deriving stuff gets harder later in the degree anon. Might even take up the entire page to show that the new formula isn't bs and can be applied to the situation when the teacher should have given you that in the first place.The you come to find out the teacher doesn't have a fucking clue what's in the homework or how to solve it and it's just been in there for years. Nobody's told them the lectures only remotely resemble the steps needed to do the homework.
There is absolutely no substitute for going through the motions and doing work and making connections yourself. No one can do it for you to the benefit your own understanding.
>>16929781great now do 100 of those and when you're done with half of them realize you're past your due dates by a few days days and you have 100 more to go through bc your teachers are useless
>>16929626>Overall I don't understand why teachers are so useless im basically self teaching everything online at this point.Another way that boomers ruined education. You pay an extreme amount to teach yourself while attending lectures that only cover the base concepts and a professor who is unreachable and a TA study hall available for 30 minutes twice a semester. All for a job market that isn't avaliable anymore.
>>16929839To be fair, it's usually a lot easier to grasp the concepts a book is trying to convey if someone just spoonfed a dumbed down version to you in a lecture. But in current year, that can be just as easily achieved via a YouTube video. If publishers were smart they would actually commission video lectures for all the textbooks they published. It could entirely replace college aside from the piece of paper you get at the end.Really, every public university should have to record their lectures and make them freely available to the taxpayers that funded it. They should also provide standardized testing so you can test out and get at least a bachelor's degree when self taught. Would remove a huge burden from the college system, probably result in better graduates, and stop wasting white people's prime working/child-bearing years and sending them into crippling debt.
