What were the other 8 percent?

My math undergrad classes were largely like that, too, and that was before there were smartphone solver apps, let alone "AI". A typical grade breakdown was 10% assignments, 30% midterm, 60% final in first and second year. Then in third and fourth year, it was entirely midterm + final.

They gave a few marks for assignments in lower years since high schoolers often come to them thinking the only things that are important are grades, so won't practice unless it's for marks. If you haven't figured out that practice is important by third year...

And agreed re: changing the focus of our assessment, just like memorizing facts for history "trivia-style" assessment should no longer be used by anyone in a post-search Web 2.0 world. (Although it was never good assessment, regardless.)

also bad at synthesizing new ideas.. however, it is likely that future models will be better at those things.

then whole situation sucks and I'm glad I'm out of uni.
