Subclaims¶

q1 i? Of the groups whose proposed weighting was recorded, all but one introduced some form of proctored, handwritten, oral, or quiz-based assessment, and four placed roughly sixty to seventy percent of the grade on a proctored or handwritten component. → Yusuf Pisan 2026

q1 · i? · design · r2

In-class group exercise (the AI Grading Paradox, week 4; 36 present, seven submissions) in which groups stress-tested four grading models and designed their own ideal policy for an AI-required, exam-free course. The instructor reports, via the Gemini-generated summary, that "all but one introduced some form of proctored, handwritten, oral, or quiz-based assessment."

"Of the groups whose proposed weighting the summary recorded, all but one introduced some form of proctored, handwritten, oral, or quiz-based assessment, and four placed a clear majority of the grade, on the order of sixty to seventy percent, on a proctored or handwritten component, with homework reduced to completion credit."

Discussion¶

Related Claims¶

• Educators run more proctored AI-free assessments conditionally on compromised outcomes, and reject AI detectors based on classroom experience of false positives
• In AI-assisted software engineering courses, AI-required and programming work carry high median grade weights while proctored assessment is rare
• AI-assisted software engineering courses assess primarily through participation, project work, and coding assignments rather than exams — related
• Students report that tests dominate assessment, carry too much weight, and create stress, while extended performance-based assessments offer better opportunities to learn and showcase learning — related
• Students taking online and proctored online exams report higher test anxiety than students taking on-campus exams and non-proctored online exams — related
