Old-school blue books are making their way back to college campuses in an attempt to stop students from cheating with AI. As more students turn to AI tools like ChatGPT to help with homework and exams—69% of college students have used it for this purpose, according to YPulse—some college professors are reviving the traditional lined exam booklets to ensure work is done by the students, not AI. According to The Wall Street Journal, sales of blue books have soared by 80% at UC Berkley and by nearly 50% at the University of Florida, which could signal a growing shift back to in-person assessments. And while some educators believe students should still learn how to use AI tools responsibly, many see handwritten, in-person exams as the clearest way to preserve academic integrity. (Entrepreneur)
