Singh, H.; Tayarani-Najaran, M.-H.; Yaqoob, M. (2023). Exploring Computer Science Students' Perception of ChatGPT in Higher Education: A Descriptive and Correlation Study. Educ. Sci. 2023, 13, 924. https://doi.org/10.3390/educsci13090924

q2 · i? · associational · r2

Descriptive result from Question 9 on how educators should create assessments to prevent misuse, answered by the 430-student cohort; forbidding the tool altogether received the minimum number of votes.

"Combined, more than 73% of the students have voted for option 1 or 3, which means that the majority of students think that ChatGPT should be allowed, but the assessments should be designed and students should be guided in a way that the practice does not harm learning."
