This year I am moving to paper-based knowledge checks at the beginning of lectures to act as an accountability mechanism and for formative assessment of pre-lecture video watching and readings. #datascience #education #LLMs #AI

![Screenshot of a quote from a professor about how they are reflecting on their role in an LLM world:
"I love this question because it made me both very happy and very sad to think about. So, on some level, what is the actual mission and purpose? Like, why am I a teacher? What am I here for? For these students? That hasn’t changed at all. And I can send you the link to it, but I also looked up, we have, at the [names institution], this graduate profile, our kind of aspirational statement, of what we think all students who have left us with a degree should have. And it includes things like being scholars, they’re knowledgeable and curious, excited by ideas, and conscientious in their efforts to understand the complexities of their communities and the world. And I love that."](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:qgrllpa37ptdi6y6wx7o2oj3/bafkreiemktyyvd4xcmvsgvgvuxcsjp7h7qwp6dabfowos4qjt7vghg4w2a)
