Reading the article, it seemed to me that both the professor and the students were interested in the material being taught and therefore actively wanted to learn it, so using an LLM isn't the best tactic.

My feeling is that for many/most students, getting a great understanding of the course material isn't the primary goal, passing the course so they can get a good job is the primary goal. For this group using LLMs makes a lot of sense.

I know when I was a student doing a course I was not particularly interested in because my parents/school told me that was the right thing to do, if LLMs had been around, I absolutely would have used them :).
