Yes, I posted about this here a few hours ago but I wasn’t sure where was the best place to put it. There is related discussion in this thread so I put it here: Stanford, Harvard, Dartmouth, Yale, Penn, Brown, CalTech, JHU, and UT-Austin to Require Standardized Testing for Admissions - #2223 by tamagotchi
It is still not entirely clear to me what happened with CS 10 although the large number of students failed for cheating seems to have been a biggish scandal (I had already read about it on reddit), but Ranade’s comments about EECS 127 (where she failed 16.8% of students) were news to me,
Ranade said students are expected to enter the course having taken classes on linear algebra, vector calculus and mathematical proofs. However, she found out in office hours that many students struggled with linear algebra, and was even more shocked when one student told her the linear algebra class they took at UC Berkeley had an “open-internet, open-AI policy” for homework and exams.
I am not sure which linear algebra course she was referring to, because my understanding is that Math 54 is a pretty tight ship!
