I completely agree, but the entire higher ed system is moving to on-line instruction.

Basically, if the University of <xyz> follows your suggestion, all of the competing institutions will eat their lunch by offering on-line courses with the "convenience" of on-line assessments" and the University of <xyz> will lose enrollment.

:-(



Depends. If the competing universities degrade into glorified coding boot camps they’ll probably get thier lunch eaten in turn. And graduates need to be getting reasonable job offers as well.


That's why this has to be mandated by the Higher Learning Commission or the federal Department of Education.
