It's fairly common for me to think of something interesting because of the way I've tried to articulate material for my students, and then I'm stuck for a few seconds between wanting to write down the idea and needing to get on with the lecture! <br /><br />But Dan's point kind of sums all this up for me. Why on earth are we trying to tie the human mind to algorithms just when those are now easily done by machines. This seems like the very time to work on freeing the human mind to do the things that only it can do.hcrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07334093881332383848noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7872819010848426693.post-21280422973254321632013-02-21T12:49:36.185-05:002013-02-21T12:49:36.185-05:00Is there also a program measuring how often and ho...Is there also a program measuring how often and how intensely a student daydreams during lecture?

But as you said, the algorithms probably don't adequately account for people who read fast, read out of order, read like --gasp! -- grad students. Ironically, this type of quantity over quality grading would teach students to do tasks that computers can already do better. How's that for preparation?! dan allossohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10733670017382794923noreply@blogger.com
