Professor swaps coding tests for AI-guided interviews
A university professor has replaced traditional coding exams with interviews that test how students use AI tools like Gemini in Google Colab to solve data mining problems. Instead of focusing on code syntax, students now work with AI to generate solutions, then explain and justify their choices in a live discussion. The professor uses Gemini Canvas and Gemini Notebook to streamline grading, aiming to build real-world decision skills rather than tech dependence.
- Coding exams switched to AI-driven problem solving
- Students questioned on choices, not coding syntax
- Gemini AI suggests code, students must critique it
- Professor uses AI tools to streamline grading
