q2 i? Creative and applied assessments resisted AI completion, though advanced prompting that supplied the creative ideas removed that core aspect from the AI and passed it to the student. → Ivory 2026

In the case study, creative application tasks (e.g. describing a novel religion grounded in psychological theory in module PSYC303) repeatedly produced the same output ('Harmonia') across prompting levels and accounts; the authors observe that "creativity in a manner significantly departing from previous content was more difficult".

"Assignments requiring novelty and originality were more resilient to the Gen-AI output."
