Abstract
Software Engineering students enrolled in the Problem Solving I (PSI) course experience a Requirements Engineering (RE) approach to education. As part of one of the PSI assessments, students must develop a manuscript on RE. Following submission and presentation, we conducted an exploratory study to assess students’ perception of using ChatGPT to support improving and reviewing their scientific paper writing. Based on the results obtained from the participants (n = 40), we highlight the different ways to use ChatGPT to support the learning process. We conclude that ChatGPT and other AI tools can and should be explored by students and professors in the academic setting. However, evaluating the generated responses with caution and discernment is essential. Moreover, to enhance the overall experience, it is crucial to pose precise questions that yield accurate responses; this, in essence, constitutes the primary challenge.
期刊介绍:
Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance.
Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
