grading

UC Berkeley Law School is banning almost all AI use by students for graded assignments starting summer 2026, citing the need to build core critical thinking skills and avoid AI errors and biases.

Andrew Ng criticizes Harvard University's decision to cap A grades at 20% of undergraduates, arguing that the role of education should be to help all students succeed rather than to limit success or serve as a gatekeeper. He shares his philosophy from DeepLearning.AI and online courses of encouraging unlimited retries and practice-focused assignments.
