Generative AI in Assessment: Towards Understanding the Student View
A paper by Joel Haddley and myself is out in MSOR Connections: “Generative AI in Assessment: Towards Understanding the Student View”. It describes what happened in a very simple setup: in a writing-focused course (think a project module), students were allowed to use AI with the assurance that no usage would be penalised. We would only apply standard Turnitin plagiarism checks (not the faulty “AI detector” which, as a reminder, does not work nor it ever will).
Then students could, voluntarily, be interviewed and tell me what they had done. I am not a member of faculty of their university, and everything was immediately anonimised. Three students signed up to be interviewed, each for about an hour, and the paper explores their insights.

Moreover, I attach the slides and the recording of a talk where I spoke about insights regarding this paper:
