Description

The article's course design interleaved individual homework and team milestones in close temporal proximity, and the authors argue this "provides a natural scaffold that purely sequential designs lack." The rapid recovery at TP2 suggests that "returning to individual work between team milestones may help students maintain their AI practices across both contexts," whereas extended team phases without intervening individual work may show more persistent suppression.

Design Implications

Context

Requirements

  • Course schedules must alternate individual and team assignments rather than separating them into distinct phases.

Constraints

  • The authors caution that instructors designing courses with extended team phases and no intervening individual work may observe more persistent suppression than they found.

Target Learners

  • Undergraduate computing students in project-based courses

Learning Goals

  • Maintaining deliberate LLM engagement and verification practices across individual and collaborative work
