"But, like many professors in the ChatGPT era, Coomber has found that the assignments no longer challenge her classes, because students simply enter questions into large language models and submit whatever the generative AI model spits out. "I was discovering that students could pretty much take my assignment, plug it into AI and get a perfect answer without having to go through some of the struggle that we know is part of learning," she said."
"The result is STRATPATH, a generative AI tool that delivers faculty-created case studies to assess and provide real-time feedback to business students. The tool both connects students' learning to real-world scenarios and provides career-readiness skills, prepping students for interviews after graduation. How it works: STRATPATH was developed by six recent UMD business school graduates: Deep Dalsaniya, Anna Huertazuela, Aditya Kamath, Aromal Nair, Krishang Parakh and Venkatesh Shirbhate."
Graduate business students began submitting AI-generated answers for take-home case studies, bypassing intended learning struggle and critical thinking practice. Ensuring authentic engagement with case exercises is crucial for career interview preparation. Faculty partnered with master's-level students to develop STRATPATH, a generative AI case-interviewer that delivers faculty-created case studies and provides real-time assessment and feedback. STRATPATH connects student learning to real-world scenarios while building career-readiness skills for postgraduation interviews. Six recent University of Maryland business graduates developed the tool after participating in an MBA case competition and launched it using funds allocated by the dean to support graduates' job searches.
