Mark Frydenberg; Anqi Xu; Jennifer Xu – Information Systems Education Journal, 2025
This study explores student perceptions of learning to code by evaluating AI-generated Python code. In an experimental exercise given to students in an introductory Python course at a business university, students wrote their own solutions to a Python program and then compared their solutions with AI-generated code. They evaluated both solutions…
