Similar to basic arithmetic?

Perhaps the experience of symbolic calculators (like mathematica) is informing, since surely, for many years now, students have been able to have it do their homework for them. How do teachers handle that?

They give an exam where Mathematica is not allowed. The ones that didn’t do the homework are in trouble.

Huh, straightforward. So it just becomes the old problem of getting students to do their homework without cheating.

\aside Some exams allow calculators and textbooks (they are generally really hard). Imagine: what would an exam assess, if LLMs were allowed?

25years ago, in the era post TI92, HP48, we would sometimes get table assessment without calculators in HS.

University would just ban them for maths.
