Can You Defend the Design AI Picked for You?

BTP400 is where the questions stop having one right answer. Abstract class or interface. Inheritance or composition. Where the responsibility for this behaviour belongs. AI will make every one of those calls for you in seconds, and the code it produces will compile and run the demo just fine.

The problem is that a design decision you did not make is a design decision you cannot defend. Assignments and project milestones get discussed in person. When you are asked why this class implements that interface, why the observer is registered there, or what breaks if a second developer subclasses this, there is no output to point at. Either you reasoned it through or you did not.

We are not asking you to close the tab. We work through your own project design, out loud, until you can name the alternatives you rejected and say why. That is also the exact skill a technical interviewer is testing when they ask you to design something on the spot.

Can you help if I have been using AI for most of my labs?

Yes, and you are nowhere near the first. There is no lecture about it. We work out what you genuinely understand, rebuild the OOP ideas underneath it, and get you to where you can design, explain, and defend your own code. None of this makes you a bad student. It makes you a student learning to code in the AI era.
