Open University accused of using computer to mark crucial dissertations
The Open University has been accused of using a computer algorithm to mark dissertations, The Telegraph can disclose.
A former student who obtained marking transcripts for their MBA dissertation last year has claimed that the university was not assessing students’ work individually.
Instead, the student has alleged that the university was using a computer model to determine final marks, causing concerns about the possibility of incorrect degree classifications.
Maybe we'll reach a situation where the loop is closed, where students use a computer to write their dissertations and another computer marks them. Should save quite a bit on tuition fees.
I don't see why they can't send the degree direct to the newborn child's parents, along with the child benefit and NI number.
ReplyDeleteSam - good idea and it could be done by computer, making the other two computers redundant of course, victims of the relentless march of automation.
