@thomasfuchs As a former teacher, in some ways I'm happy to see academia get a real shake up. All those movies about whimsical professors who ignore the curriculum and teach their students critical thinking are now something that should actually happen.

While I don't want say that facts aren't important for learning, memorization and regurgitation doesn't produce critical thinkers. Better to teach them analysis and research skills so they understand how to verify a fact instead of just reciting whatever ChatGPT told them.
