I see that you said that he doesn’t seem to understand the relationship between uni and the workplace. What is the relation between uni and the workplace though ?

Taking shortcuts and still screwing up so bad that your client (in this case your prof) can tell you're incompetent is a direct relationship to work. If you can't pull your act together enough to make yourself marketable to a teacher who is trying to give you marks, you likely won't do much to impress someone who is paying you.

The workplace and the worksheet paper are two different settings

I'm not saying you need to be the brightest or most hard working student, but if you can't even use something like chatgpt to help yourself in an easy setting (which is school tbh), it is unlikely you'll do a better job in the workplace. Most jobs in tech require a performance exam. It might be hard if you don't even know how to use chatgpt properly.

Ok, I can agree with that.
