The Carpentries Community Discussion Sessions

Yani shared examples of exercises and activities she sets for students and the guidance she gives them around LLM usage. Yani’s experience – one probably shared by every Carpentries Instructor! – is that learners do not always follow instructions, for example, by trying to use LLMs to generate solution code even when asked not to do so.
