Claims

C1strongest claim

This paper extends prior work done on data from a single offering of the same course by presenting a refined bottom-up categorization of LLM usage types, cross-labeled by the extent of student initiative these usages entail. Furthermore, we examine how LLM use impacts student learning, measured by performance on three midterms, looking at factors such as frequency and type of usage.

C2weakest assumption

That students' self-reported LLM usage practices accurately reflect their actual behaviors during the homework assignments and that performance on the three midterms validly measures learning gains in critical thinking from those activities.

C3one line summary

Refined bottom-up categories of LLM usage in critical thinking homework, labeled by student initiative, are examined for associations with midterm performance across two course offerings.
