Warmup

Warmup

  • I graded your Pokemon Projects - sorry for the delay!
  • Most got great grades. Some are missing small requirements.
  • Take a look and feel free to resubmit by Dec 15.

Let’s talk about AI

AI - Rule in my class

  • I think it’s a great thing, and an important skill for you to learn
  • We’ll have a lot of fun with AI this year
  • Unless I say so, do not use it on any assignments
  • If you claim AI-generated work as your own, I will catch it and I will write a referral
    • Same rule for youtube videos, quillbot, course hero, chegg, etc.

Here’s some food for thought

About the Pokemon Project

  • Lots of people wrote their code in about one minute
  • Lots of people submitted code that was exactly the same as other students’ code
  • Lots of people submitted very advanced code
    • many of those same people failed the test on the same subject

My Response

  • For now, nothing
  • Copy/paste is blocked going forward
  • For all future projects, I’ll assume that you aren’t working alone
    • Working together, AI, etc are all okay. But you MUST give credit to your sources and explain how much of the work is yours
    • Sample acceptable comment: “I copy/pasted the prompt into ChatGPT and entirely kept the code it generated”
  • You must completely understand the code you submit
  • Each assignment will have an in-class component
