How I changed teaching after AI managed to do all my homework assignments

Perhaps they are also dealing with administration that says things like “The university insists that homework can't be optional”, as in the grandparent comment.

Seems to me that requiring the homework and having it paired with the quiz works well in terms of cause-effect for the students.

The university administration needs flexibility rather than draconian rules that dont work.

In any case, even if the uni insist on homework, the teacher can simply mark everyone who hands in their homework 100%. It is impossible for the administration to police it, or if they do, they'd need to hire someone to mark the homework (which conveniently solves the teacher's issue).

This is basically my solution.

Students who copy all solutions from LLMs maybe learn something, but it's like 5% compared to what someone can learn by doing the assignment without external help, or even by asking their peers. It's a bit disheartening, because I invest quite some time and thought in designing the assignments.

It was very different before LLMs.
