I had planned to move towards projects counting towards the majority of my CS class grades until chatgpt was released, now I've stuck with a 50/50 split. This year I said they were free to use AI all they liked (as if I can do anything about it anyway) , then ran interviews with the students about their project work, asking them to explain how it works etc. Took a lot of time with a class of 60 students, but worked pretty well, plus they got some experience developing the important skull of communicating technical ideas.

Would like to give them some guidance on how to get AI to help prepare them for their interviews next year, will definitely take a look at your AGENTS.md approach.

What's your student feedback on it been like?

i would absolutely love to do individual interviews, but I have three classes of 50-80 students each and, at 10 minutes per interview, that would be ~35 hours worth of interviewing and there just isn't time to do that given the schedules of the students, etc.

my feedback has been pretty good on the in-person quizzes, we just had our first set

This is amazing and wish professors had done this back when I did CS in the late 1990s.

Was there something fundamentally different from those who used "AI" a "lot" vs those who didn't?

Did they mention the issue of hallucination and how they addressed it?
