OS course par-ticipation was an accurate predictor of capstone course performance, and similarly the firstsemester of capstone accurately predicted the second. Additionally, we found that peer re-viewing in ToC predicted OS writing performance and that the final ToC presentation waspredictive of capstone’s presentation scores. These results suggest that specific elements ofprior instruction for

The study employs qualitative and quantitative data collectioninvolving two-course sections with a diverse group of students, engaging in 75-minute pairprogramming sessions where they alternate roles as driver (who writes the code) and navigator(who reviews and guides). The C programming language is used to facilitate collaboration andreal-world skill development. The unique aspect of this study is the structured reflection processapplied after each pair programming session. Students were asked to answer three questions: (1)what they learned, (2) what areas they needed more practice

Many participants framedthese behaviors within ethical and institutional contexts, noting that such actions ”are not only inviolation of the school’s honor code, but also unethical and unfair to their peers.” Interestingly, acounterbalancing concern also emerged—that legitimate student work might be incorrectly flaggedas AI-generated, with one participant noting they had ”already seen...peers...who do produce workthat is entirely their own being falsely accused of submitting AI generated work.” Table 2

For instance, while Bloom’s revised taxonomyis instrumental in the creation of Human-AI learning outcomes and course content, theframework also encourages faculty to reflect upon the AI Usability Spectrum. To maintainacademic integrity and embrace the full use of Human-AI learning, faculty can engage studentsin the learning process, determining the ‘right’ amount of AI usage for every task. This practiceincludes breaking down tasks into categories pertaining to writing, critical thinking, and researchwhile classifying AI use into low, medium, and high intensity.

This is just one example of the deluge of papers describing how large language modelscan perform reasonably well on traditional examinations (e.g., [21], [22], [23], [24], [25]). Thesemodels are trained using large and diverse sets of writing and employ statistical procedures topredict a response to a statement or question, which can lead to surprising coherence and theappearance of analytical reasoning.In STEM fields, where communication is less in written short responses and more often acombination of diagrams and equations, generative AI tools have seen uneven success in problem-solving.

However, AI may be most effective in fields where students arerequired to complete more ill-defined tasks such as writing lab reports or creative writing [1],[8]. Similarly, AI has been used in marketing and other business fields for content creation, salesoptimization, and for customer service chatbots [12-13].
