Some more from the world of university student grading....
A lab report assignment where the use of generative AI is allowed with appropriate attribution. It’s a class of ~100 students.
Around half the class chose not to use genAI. Around a third cited their use of gen AI.
So about a third of the course have started to upskill and to use genAI in what I believe is a productive / useful way. And that is over a 10-week term – when we started, almost no one in the class had explored the use of genAI beyond ‘playing around over Christmas’.
I could also compare the cited use of genAI and that detected by an ‘AI writing detection model’, and I can confirm that it was sub-optimal.

It seems like it is early days yet, and I agree with the idea we move forward with caution, but make sure students are involved in the discussions, process discussions around using AI.
