Commenting with Copilot: A Taxonomy and Multi-Year Analysis of Student Code-Generation Specifications
arXiv:2607.10674v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: As AI code tools become integrated into programming environments, students increasingly describe intended behavior in natural language and rely on these tools to generate code, shifting emphasis from code writing to specification. Yet little is known about the comments students write as specifications in AI-assisted programming tasks. We analyze a four-year dataset of undergraduate programming submissions and reflections from tasks in which stude
