Subclaims¶
Reading the evidence codes
q is the design tier, i the impact, n the sample, and the kind with its r
the rigour judged within that kind: what each code means.
This claim: no standardized effect is recorded in observations/ for it yet, so no benchmark reading is possible.
q2 i? AI-required and programming work each appeared in all 14 conventional percentage-based courses with a median grade weight of 70%, while proctored assessment appeared in only 3 courses. → Francis Geng 2026

q2 · i? · qualitative · r2
Feature analysis of 14 conventional percentage-based courses (Table 4): AI-required work and programming work each appeared in 14 courses with median weight 70% (ranges 20–100% and 20–95%); proctored assessment appeared in 3 courses with median 20%. Weights are non-mutually exclusive.
"AI- required and programming work carried high median grade weights, indicating that graded work commonly centered on producing or improving software artifacts with AI tools."
Discussion¶
Related Claims¶
- AI-assisted software engineering courses assess primarily through participation, project work, and coding assignments rather than exams — possibly the same claim (merge candidate)
- AI/ML fundamentals, agentic development, prompting, and testing are the most commonly documented topics in AI-assisted software engineering courses — related
- In a course that had removed examinations, most student groups designing a fair grading policy reinvented proctored or handwritten assessment
- Educators run more proctored AI-free assessments conditionally on compromised outcomes, and reject AI detectors based on classroom experience of false positives — related
