In my programming, algorithms and data structures courses the homework assignment completion has gone from roughly 50% before LLMs to 99% this year.

Making assignments harder would be unfair to those few students who would actually try to solve the problem without LLMs.

So what I do is require extensive comments and ahem - chain of thought reasoning in the comments - especially the WHY part.

Then I require oral defense of the code.

Sadly this is unfeasible for some of the large classes of 200, but works quite well when I have the luxury of teaching 20 students.
