The Problem For Professors
A professor assigns 5-7 pages on the fall of Rome to his 80 students.
Unable to see or use each other's work, the majority of the class writes about the same topic. THERE IS NO CREATIVITY.
The professor grades 80 practically identical papers unbeknownst to the students.
This process repeats itself every term and little new information is contributed
