This is a concern because ChatGPT did not correct the students’ mistake on terminology,but rather agreed and adjusted the axes labels to match the exam requirements. Another studentcommented in the lab assignment “It just gave me the formula that is used to calculate a randomnumber given a range. [...] It didn’t give much beyond that.” This does not agree with thetranscript of the students’ interaction with the AI, which provides a detailed explanation behindthe formula listed. This suggests the student did not carefully read through the AI’s response orpossibly does not understand the explanation.4 DiscussionA

Although BERT has been appliedto various domains, including movie reviews and ideological texts, its utility in educationalplatforms like Coursera remains underexplored. This paper sets out to fill that gap by assessingand comparing the performance of traditional sentiment analysis tools (VADER, AFINN) andBERT on a dataset of over 1.45 million Coursera reviews.Extending beyond basic sentiment classification, this research proposes a hybrid framework thatcombines BERT’s deep contextual understanding with the efficiency of lexicon‑based tools toprobe sentiment patterns across important course aspects—such as

At the sametime, some studies found that LLM could generate sensible yet wrong responses, especiallywhen subjective criteria are involved [27]. Furthermore, as this work-in-progress study, thesemixed results in agreements may be due to the inherently subjective nature of SMART criteriaused for LO evaluations, requiring evaluators to understand the course content and goalholistically.
