[QUOTE="wilbers, post: 294748, member: 7432"] Sometimes reality is really, really strange. English student writes story of a dystopian future where a computer algorithm sorts students by class and wins an Orwell prize for it. One year later it becomes a reality and her English grade downgraded. [url]https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-manchester-53812315[/url] What happens next still to be seen, appears that with the non-exam exam fiasco that some universities have now made more offers than there are places as those that the algorithm didn't like lost out and some of those places were offered to other students and now that the grades have reverted to teacher assesments some now have the grades to meet the offer they previously had.
