AI-Assisted Code Review as a Scaffold for Code Quality and Self-Regulated Learning: An Experience Report

arXiv CS.AI

ArXi:2604.23251v1 Announce Type: cross Code review is central to software engineering education but hard to scale in capstone projects due to tight deadlines, uneven peer feedback, and limited prior experience. We investigate an LLM-as-reviewer integrated directly into GitHub pull requests (human-in-the-loop) across two cohorts ( than 100 students, 2023--2024). Using a mixed-methods design -- GitHub data, reflective reports, and a targeted survey -- we examine engagement and responsiveness as behavioral indicators of self-regulated learning processes.
