Randomized Evaluation of AI Use in Higher Education

Researcherpersonal
Designed a section-level randomized controlled trial (RCT) to evaluate the impact of unrestricted AI use on take-home assignments versus AI-restricted conditions. The study specifically hypothesized a 'substitution effect' where AI might inflate assignment scores without corresponding gains in cognitive learning, isolated by comparing AI-assisted homework performance with unassisted in-class exam scores across randomized matched course sections.
