Abstract
As part of a graduate topics course in Computer Science Education, computer science students on project teams were assigned to investigate an undergraduate CS course. Each team examined course materials, interviewed the faculty member teaching the course, observed a class session of the course, produced a report of their findings, and then developed a research question and plan that could potentially be explored in the context of that course. We report on an interview study conducted to investigate the value of this course project from the perspective of the graduate students enrolled and the faculty members observed. Our findings indicate that the graduate students developed a deeper understanding of pedagogical challenges in computer science and wanted to engage further on the project. Faculty participants wanted more time with the teams and found that participating in the project provided a unique opportunity to reflect on their teaching practices.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
