LLMs

LLMs (chatgpt etc.)

• Amazing tools
• I’ve seen students use them carelessly

LLMs

Rule 1: Don’t use LLM to:

• write code
• plan code and problem-solve
• debug code
• test code
• comment or format code

LLMs

Rule 2: When you use it anyways: Cite it

This is the line between “cheating” and “doing the homework wrong”

LLMs

What’s allowed:

• Help you learn
• Help with non-graded practice tasks
• Help you connect to legitimate and useful resource
• Maybe generating data for personal testing
• Generating practice problems

For any tool (not just LLMs)

You need to know enough about coding to decide whether that tools fits in one of three category:

• Hype
• Help
• Hindrance
