Title	Project Exploration Using AI
Author	Heidi Ellis
Overview	This paper assignment assesses student ability to identify, evaluate, and access the Claude coding assistant as an information resource to solve programming problems. Students will document their use of Claude during a 4-week sprint, then critically analyze the effectiveness and appropriateness of these resources for software development tasks.
Prerequisites	Students should have some understanding of coding infrastructure including containers, pipelines, and testing infrastructures and be involved in developing a software project.
Learning Objectives	After successfully completing this activity, the learner should be able to: Identify appropriate use cases for Claude vs. other information resources Identify the types of tasks most/least suitable for AI assistance Describe how the use of Claude changed student's development process and information-seeking behavior
