I've noticed a concerning decline in student engagement, with many relying on external tools for answers, leading to issues like plagiarism and poor retention of knowledge. Our tool provides hints based on course material, allowing students to learn without directly giving them answers, and includes analytics for instructors to identify struggling topics. We're piloting this assistant with the Intro to Programming 1105 summer course in the coming weeks, and I encourage feedback from both students and instructors to refine its effectiveness. I hope to expand its use in more courses this fall."}
