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.
q1 i? Terwiesch reported ChatGPT created an exam within 10 hours versus the usual 20, and reduced TA time from 10 to 5 hours, which he characterized as a 100% productivity increase. → Baidoo-Anu 2023

q1 · i? · review · r1
The review reports, citing Terwiesch (2023), a Wharton professor's account that exam creation typically took 20 hours plus 10 TA hours, while ChatGPT produced the exam in 10 hours and cut TA time to 5 hours. A single self-reported case, not a controlled comparison.
"However, ChatGPT was able to create the exams within 10 hours and reduced TAs time to 5 hours. This shows 100% productivity increase in the “exam writing operation” (Terwiesch, 2023, p. 23)."
