Are there methods we could use which avoid filtering out people for lacking skills unrelated to those they’ll deploy after graduation? Certainly I’ve seen examples of simple changes that do a lot of good, like single user exam spaces (with a camera). Even basic changes like that can seriously improve exams, but often require resource allocation. If people think things like, “exams being stressful is good, these students just need to toughen up,” then we won’t allocate those resources and we’ll miss out on a good investment.
