Who can I talk to about a professor FORCING us to use ai for assignments?
While this may sound silly to some people I think it is extremely hypocritical for a professor teaching students about environmental sciences to be forcing students to use ai at some point in most of their assignments.
This far I have refused which I’m sure will cause me to lose some points whenever she decides to actually grade our work, I couldn’t really tell you since she hasn’t graded anything or really responded to anyone since the first week.
For our final we are being asked to use AI to program an app and it’s worth a solid 20% of our grade.
I feel like this is ridiculous!! Working in the real world you will get reprimanded for AI usage on your reports, in most other classes on campus you can get dropped or even have actual action taken against you for using ai to create an assignment! I’m not paying 4K a semester to have a robot do my work and learn for me and I don’t want to aid in fabricating something to replace real people and their very real jobs. I’m here to gain new knowledge and skillsets- none of which occur while using ai to do everything for you!!
I’m frankly infuriated that it is required of me for a class to not do my own work and have no idea who I would even go to about this. Any ideas?
