Quotes from the episode

We need to provide opportunities for people to find things hard, to persevere, and to see if they come out the other side.
-Leon Furze

For me, brainstorming, idea generation, drafting, all of that is far more important than the finished product itself.
-Leon Furze

If we’re going to accuse students of cheating and then allow professors or or educators to use the technology for assessments, that’s hypocritical, and probably quite condescending.
-Leon Furze
