University instructor suspects AI use in assignments, shocks students with an ‘unorthodox’ reassessment technique
A lecturer at New Zealands Lincoln University has ordered more than 100 postgraduate finance students to retake their assessments in person after suspecting widespread use of AI in coding assignments, Stuff reported. Students must now perform live coding, explain their solutions, and face questioning, with failures risking disciplinary action. While the university cites academic integrity, students argue the move feels punitive and stressful. The case highlights the growing challenge of balancing AIs rise with fair academic evaluation.
