To what end? Not cheating on the weekly assignments is surely more beneficial to learning than cheating on them is, but I don’t see how removing the assignments altogether would help students learn.

If you nail the one exam, you get an A+. If you fail it, you get an F. In between, you get what your score says you get.

I understand the proposed grading system but not the reason for selecting that particular system.

It's a crude blade to avoid the issues of AI pollution of weekly submissions, of which few teachers have much confidence that the submission itself was actually written by the student - who's assumed to be learning something.

The OP was about students dumbing down their own work to avoid AI detectors ratting them out. That seems like a big loss.
