Giving University Exams in the Age of Chatbots (via) Detailed and thoughtful description of an open-book and open-chatbot exam run by Ploum at École Polytechnique de Louvain for an "Open Source Strategies" class.
Students were told they could use chatbots during the exam but they had to announce their intention to do so in advance, share their prompts and take full accountability for any mistakes they made.
Only 3 out of 60 students chose to use chatbots. Ploum surveyed half of the class to help understand their motivations.
