This is really setting students up for failure isn't it?

CS 100 and 200 level problems are well represented online enough that "vibe coding" will just write out the entire solution. But then the student may rely on it and either burn out in the harder courses or accidentally turn in something that oops was copy pasted directly from a previous year student off of github.

I have been corrected - this is a coding unit in an engineering degree. Vibe bridge-building.

the bridges they will build:

collapsed Tacoma Narrows Bridge

except they will learn nothing from their failures

Considering the animosity between stem (a real strong field, based on science, rules, math, for men!!1!!one!!) and humanities (the opposite, etc) this is a bit amusing. And sad.
