@UlrikNyman @jaredwhite "What is the main motivation for not using LLMs as part of the development process?"
The same reason you're not supposed to read the Cliff's Notes when you're studying literature: it defeats the purpose entirely. Your students won't actually *learn* a damn thing if they just get it all from the plagiarism bot.
But, here you are putting up a straw man argument.
Are intention is of course to just let them use LLMs from the beginning. But we are already experiencing that they are using LLMs for the exercises in our regular programming courses. They fail or get bad grades on the exam where they cannot use LLMs.
In their projects (half of all credits) they use can use LLMs, but here they still have to be able to explain and defend their code during the 5 hour oral group exam.
@UlrikNyman @jaredwhite if they fail when they can’t use the LLM then they’re not actually learning or retaining what you’re teaching. That seems like a pretty damning indictment of the thing in an academic setting…
@UlrikNyman "They fail or get bad grades on the exam where they cannot use LLMs." - that's just horrible and immensely disappointing.
