Abstract

Poster.
Generative AI chatbots have recently transformed education, necessitating new teaching methods for this paradigm. This study compares the impact of generative AI on introductory and advanced programming courses in fall 2023. Advanced students showed better outcomes, while the performance of introductory students remained unchanged or declined. This highlights the need for tailored AI integration strategies based on students' skill levels.
