Comment on Amid AI Plagiarism, More Professors Turn to Handwritten Work

RIP, my ass tends to grip the pencil too hard or smth, and I often cramp up my hand when writing a lot. I had to write paper notes for a class, and another professor made our final exam on paper where you write about 10 terms and do 2 mini essays on a topic.
I really don’t wanna do paper, simply because of how annoying it is (smudge marks, misspelled words, running out of space, having to erase a lot of stuff cause you feel it looks wrong, etc.). Honestly, unless a teacher watches students write their entire assignment in class with no technology out, what’s to stop them from just copying down what ChatGPT wrote for them onto paper?

Article says the teacher is using handwriting for in class assignments. I suppose you could hide your phone and copy answers from that but at that point your back to regular cheating.
I always hated handwriting in school because my hand also cramps easily. I’ve heard the proper way to write is using arm motions. Makes sense to me because my writing is all using my wrist with my hand crab clawed around a pencil.
