Malaysian lecturer swaps traditional coding tests for Gemini‑assisted verbal assessments
A Chief Digital Officer and lecturer at Universiti Putra Malaysia replaced conventional coding exams for a data mining course with conversational assessments where students use Google Gemini in Colab to generate code and must verbally justify model choices; the instructor uses Gemini Canvas and Gemini Notebook to evaluate work at scale. The approach emphasizes students' judgment and troubleshooting over raw syntax skills.
