If you'd like to convert an open-ended test question to multiple choice, you can ask ChatGPT to generate the multiple choice answers.

And then we have to deal with this kind of anti-education nonsense... Brainwashed: How Universities Indoctrinate America's Youth: Shapiro, Ben: 9781595559791: Amazon.com: Books I'm not saying everyone needs a college degree.

@Zeev81309558 Wow I'm sorry that the 81-year-olds in your experience are all perceived as obsolete and ineffective. You can discuss one 81-year-old but leave the rest of them out. - Not 81 but will be someday

ChatGPT is brilliant but not flawless. I caught an error on a linear programming problem today. I'm not questioning reality, time and space as we know it.

I'm thrilled that 106 different colleges have requested evaluation copies of my textbook "Programming Precalculus with Python". It is being considered for courses such as Computational Thinking, Data Science, Math for Programming, Mathematical Computing I, Precalculus, and a new course developed exclusively around the text. Educators can request a free digital review copy here: titles.cognella.com/programming-pr…
