The essays should be written in class with a pen and paper. Or maybe they should update the schooling system to teach things people really need not just shoving useless information and half-assed “schooling” material.

newsflash, it doesn't matter if it is important or not, many will always take the path of least resistance, even (read: especially) in university

In Uni tthough the path of least resistance is actually learning the material, at least for my degree in engineering

I hope its the same for the medical field ;-;

I think it's like that for STEM in general, coming from a math guy. If I have a subpar foundation in functions, my understanding of calculus will be crippled.

I'd assume med also builds upon previous knowledge. I sincerely hope I never see almost any of my high school peers who pursued med near an operating table.

Not if you don’t know the topic in advance, but a student will always find a way.

Well I mean then you’re expecting students to write entire essays in hour long classes, you kinda need them to go home at which point they can use gpt

we had to write entire essays in an hour long class in HS. Rarely but it did happen. In college it was also an 50 or 90 min depending on class schedule (usually still 50 mins). The only years i didn’t have an in class paper was during covid.

Yes but most classes also have things like term papers and longer form essays or essays that go through multiple stages which doesn’t work with single class writing

writing with pen and paper is definitely not a skill kids or future wage slaves need
