Quotes from the episode

I never include AI in the beginning of my processes.

-C. Edward Watson

There’s a lot of incremental shifts, but the increments are quite large.

-C. Edward Watson

I would argue that maybe this is the first time in the history of higher education that we have learning outcomes that are at war with one another.

-C. Edward Watson

We’ve never built a curriculum for something that’s changing so quickly. We’re being asked to keep up with this rate of change in a meaningful way that actually serves our students well.
