Screenshots for “PrimeBot” and “WebDeveloperBot”The instructor made adaptations to his course along the way to better support students’ use ofgenerative AI and also demonstrated that he was tinkering with generative AI along with thestudents. For example, after the second session of the course, the instructor found that thestudents were asking many questions regarding the syllabus in “GeneralBot”. However, because“GeneralBot” was the same as ChatGPT and the syllabus was not included in the training data,“GeneralBot” was unable to provide students with answers. Seeing this phenomenon, theinstructor and the team created “SyllabusBot” and introduced it in the next

In this practice-based research project, the authors attempted to answer the following questions: 1) Could thestudents learn the breadth and depth of the content via Active Learning, 2) How do the studentsvalue the Active Learning experience as compared to a traditional approach and 3) Is the facultyexperience such that it would motivate them to use Active Learning techniques in the future? Inorder to answer these questions, the course was redesigned to eliminate traditional lecturing andthe solving of example problems by the instructor.

In conclusion, this study illuminates the intricate connection between students’ self-generated study materialsand their performance in examinations by exploring the impact of study sheets on students’ performance. While thisstudy could not establish the direct relationship between the quality of the study sheet with the students’performance, the study reveals that student's preparation and use of study sheets does not negatively affect theirperformance.

Next, instructors research andselect assessment methods, including formative and summative assessment strategies for theoverall course and individual instructors.
