I supervise study groups and help correct exam answers.” https://www.vice.com/en/article/y3vqkb/ghostwriters-for-hire-university-exams Hire students from Germany to help with your exams?
- 22. How do we ensure that we are assessing a student – not a hired worker or a machine? Can we set assignments that engage and interest students? Our Interventions What do we do to ensure that society has confidence in our engineers?
- 23. “In a time when technology and society are evolving with an increasing pace, engineers educated today need to be prepared for the technology, society and challenges of tomorrow. This rapid development not only has to be mirrored in what we teach, but also in how and when we teach.” https://nordtek.net
- 24. Can we work with emerging technology, rather than against it?
