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? Across 12 courses with public learning objectives, the most common themes were human-AI collaboration, software and AI tool development, and software and AI evaluation. → Francis Geng 2026

q2 · i? · qualitative · r3
Qualitative coding of learning objectives extracted from 12 of the 23 courses with public objectives; three authors used open coding with negotiated agreement. The coding found "human-AI collab- oration, software and AI tool development, and software and AI evaluation" as the most common themes; no effect size applies.
"Among the 12 courses with public learn- ing objectives, the most common themes were human-AI collab- oration, software and AI tool development, and software and AI evaluation (Table 2)."

- Only 9 of 23 courses publicly named AI tools, with Claude Code, Cursor, and GitHub Copilot most frequent and a fragmented long tail — related
- AI-assisted software engineering courses assess primarily through participation, project work, and coding assignments rather than exams — related
