Generative AI for in-class review

We explore the potential of using generative AI for helping students review. We compared two different assignments, each one given to a different group of students: in the first one, students worked in groups to create problems on the topic. Students were encouraged to use generative AI. The review problems were then exchanged with a different section of the class for further practice at home. In the second assignment, students worked in groups on a worksheet containing review problems. For both groups of students, we used a pre- and post-test to assess learning improvement. We also analyzed student reflections. In our presentation, we will discuss our findings, including:

• What themes emerged from student reflections concerning the usefulness of generative AI for reviewing?
• Did students who were encouraged to use generative AI show greater improvement?

Attendees will gain insights about the use of generative AI for in-class review activities.
