Using Generative AI to Supplement Learning in Statistical Programming Courses

Oregon Convention Center 

This talk will discuss how large language models (LLMs) like ChatGPT have been integrated into statistical programming courses to help students get started on tasks, come up with ideas for descriptive analyses, and debug programs. The inclusion of LLMs required the rethinking of traditional assessments used in the course which has led to assignments that require more critical thinking and reflection. Successes and mistakes from these changes will be discussed.
