sounds more like this happened because the instructors failed to tell the students not to just ChatGPT all the answers, OR the students didn't listen.

this is somewhat analogous to learning arithmetic but just using a calculator to get the answer. but coding is more complicated at least in terms of the sheer number of concepts.

yet we dont ban calculators from the classroom. we just tell students to use them mindfully. the same should apply to LLMs.

i wish when I was learning coding I had LLMs. but you do need to have the desire to understand how something really works. and also the pain of debugging something trivial for hours does help retention :).

I'm old enough to remember calculators being banned from the classroom because "you won't always have one in your pocket"
