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? Student participants concluded AI's role is fluid: a shortcut for tasks with clear, predictable outcomes such as information search and simple automation, and a collaborator for uncertain, creative tasks where students must inject their own critical thinking and opinions. → Reshaping Undergraduate Computer Science Education in the Generative AI Era 2026

q1 · i? · qualitative · r1
Qualitative consensus from the January 2026 one-day student workshop with 60 participants, including students and recent graduates, roughly half from Singapore-based institutions. Reports participant perceptions, not tested outcomes.
"The consensus was that AI’s role isfluid: a shortcut for tasks with clear, predictable outcomes (e.g., information search, simple automation) and a collaborator for uncertain, creative tasks where students must inject their own critical thinking and opinions."
