rare here: well written and insightful, I would take this course. I'm curious about why he penalized chatbot mistakes more, at first glance sounds like just discouraging their use but the hole setup indicates genuine desire to let it be a possibility. In my mind the rule should be "same penalty and extra super cookies for catching chatbot mistakes"

Here is my guess: Usually marks are given for partially correct answers, partially to be less punishing for human error whether caused by stress or other factors, there’s a good chance the student understood the topic. If instead they are using a chat bot, but didn’t catch the mistake themselves, it’s an indication of less understanding and marked accordingly.
