Descriptive survey finding reported in the conclusion: 127 of 151 respondents reported using GenAI tools in their academic work. The article states the tools are "already widely used in students’ academic work" at the case institution.

Discussion¶

Related Claims¶

• Student surveys show widespread AI use, desire for instructor guidance, and 'checking correctness' as a frequent use — a broader claim this one bears on
• Most undergraduate students in computer science–related programs are unaware of their institution's GenAI regulations (62.25% not aware; 25.83% aware) — related
• Layer 1 survey (N=54) found mostly daily or weekly but largely passive AI use, with persistent ethical anxiety described as cheating fears or hallucination worries — related
