Among novice programmers using AI code generators, trust did not predict compliance with suggestions, while performance correlated with both compliance and increased subsequent trust.
User study reveals nine LLM failure categories in SE tasks and quantifies abandonment factors from 26 participants.
GenAI produced larger self-efficacy gains but noticeably lower learning outcomes than live tutoring, with visualizations underused and GenAI facing barriers on advanced topics.
Viva conducts voice-based oral exams and grades transcripts with a multi-LLM panel; tested on two small NYU cohorts at under $1 per exam while surfacing five implementation patterns from observed failures.
DURA framework applied in one CS2 course enabled LLM use for concept clarification and debugging while increasing office hour attendance and improving student perceptions of instructor care.
The paper recommends shifting CS education from implementation skills to AI-native competencies, fundamental concepts, and critical evaluation based on workshop consensus.
