Ask about 1:1 helpAI-era coding help
AI helped finish it. Can you explain it?
If you freeze when the chatbot closes, the fix is not another quiz or a made-up score. Bring your course, your code, and the exact gap. We work through it live until you understand what is happening.

The real diagnostic
What can you do with AI closed?
No email required. Try this on your last assignment right now.
- 01
Explain
Open your most recent assignment. With AI closed, explain what one function does and why each step is there.
- 02
Change
Make one small requirement change without asking a tool for code. Can you decide where it belongs?
- 03
Debug
Break a test on purpose, then trace the failure. Can you find the cause without copying the error into ChatGPT?
If one of these breaks down, tell me which one. That is a useful starting point for tutoring.
