Yeah, and forget about giving skeleton code to students they should fill in; using an AI can quite frequently completely ace a typical undergraduate level assignment. I actually feel bad for people teaching programming courses, as the only real assessment one can now do is in-class testing without computers, but that is a strange way to test students’ ability to write and develop code to solve certain classes of problems…



Why do the in-class testing without computers?

We use an airgapped lab (it has LAN and a local git server for submissions, no WAN) to give coding assessments. It works.


At my college, we did in-class testing with psuedocode, because we were being tested on concepts, not specific programming languages or syntax.


Hopefully someone is thinking about adapting the assessments. Asking questions that focus on a big picture understanding instead of details on those in-class tests.
