Yep. It's going to be increasingly difficult to evaluate a student's
true worth in the future. I've already made it difficult for them to
use AI by forcing them to finish whatever work they need to complete

will go home, have the computer do the work for them, and hand me
something stellar the next period. However, some still try.
