SummaryRetrospective on teaching an upper-level visualization course with AI coding tools, using prompt injections, oral checkouts, and two AI coding labs. Half of students had prior AI use; refinement dominated prompting logs, explanation was almost absent, and 56.4% preferred scaffolded instructions. Final projects were more polished but visually homogeneous.
Why it mattersConcrete management techniques (prompt injections, oral checkouts, scaffolded prompts) backed by real course data — reusable patterns for structuring AI-augmented work or teaching.
