q2 · i? · causal · r1

Critical-reflection items of the post-course questionnaire (n=29 respondents). Students rated AI lowest on information accuracy (mean 3.34) and visualisation suggestions (3.14), and 51.72% named content requiring substantial modification as the main challenge.

"A notable 75.86% ( n = 22) of students simultaneously selected the three roles of personal tutor, creative partner, and criti cal thinking partner, reflecting a strong expectation for AI to evolve beyond basic information retrieval"
