Some students insisted on completing their preferred hands-on projects without understanding the time commitment they required.

Recommendation

Explain the requirements of different types of hands-on projects more clearly at the start of the term, so that students have a better understanding of the time commitment required within the context of a teaching term. Explore the potential for additional ready-to-engage projects for students who wish to collect and use real data.

Recommendation

Review and revise assessment tasks to improve AI compatibility and provide more authentic tasks that assess students’ application of knowledge.
