Test-Driven, AI-Assisted Learning: Replacing Lectures with Weekly Closed-Book Tests
This paper is an experience report on a 13-week Test-Driven, AI-Assisted (TDAA) redesign of DSAA 3071, Theory of Computation, an upper-level course at the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (Guangzhou). The design is simple: the course replaces lectures with self-directed, AI-assisted learning, and frequent, independently completed tests create a high-frequency quality gate. AI agents help the instructor prepare the learning path, course website, tests, grading workflow, and repairs.
