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? The 2025 HEPI/Kortext survey of UK undergraduates reported 92% had used AI tools and 88% had used generative AI for assessment-related purposes. → Zagami 2026

q2 · i? · theoretical · r3
Second-hand survey evidence reported by the article: the HEPI/Kortext survey of 1,041 UK undergraduates found "92% had used AI tools" and 88% generative AI for assessment-related purposes. The article cites this as indicative sector evidence, not its own measurement.

Discussion¶
Related Claims¶
- Student generative AI use rose sharply while institutional support lagged, per a 2025 survey the article cites — possibly the same claim (merge candidate)
- In simulations, superficial reflection stays at consistently low frequency across all reflection-reward levels, and misuse remains negligible, indicating the main governance challenge is normalised opportunistic AI use rather than overt misconduct — related
