This. Especially in the humanities, the essay is the preferred form of assessment. I don’t have a birds eye view of all colleges, but I know that some of those courses should not have had essay exams. It’s as if teachers forget that other forms of examination exist.

Skype is still out there! The Dutch MoD host their own Skype servers.
- Comment on openscad is pretty great 1 month ago:
It’s cool, but I never had the chance to get into it. Conventional CAD tools are pretty convenient as well especially if you already know how to use them. What would be a good starter model to try this on?

How does making such a request work? Is it just an email?
- Comment on Neurosurgery on Saturn 5 months ago:
It was an interesting read. It read like a Utopian short story and is a clear critique.
- Comment on Clever, clever 6 months ago:
It does feel like some teachers are a bit unimaginative in their method of assessment. If you have to write multiple opinion pieces, essays or portfolios every single week it becomes difficult not to reach for a chatbot. I don’t agree with your last point on indoctrination, but that is something that I would like to see changed.
