  The integration of artificial intelligence tools such as ChatGPT in the
education system has gained attention in recent years. This experience report
explores students' perceptions and suggestions for integrating ChatGPT in a
computer science course. Following a ChatGPT activity which includes code
completion and analysis, seven students participated in in-depth interviews.
Findings from the transcribed interviews suggest that ChatGPT has the potential
to enhance learning experience including programming. They highlighted the
tool's ability to respond immediately to queries and supporting personalised
learning. However, they raise concerns that heavy reliance on ChatGPT may
adversely affect students' critical thinking and problem-solving skills. These
findings show the importance of carefully balancing using ChatGPT in computer
science courses. The findings of this research have significant implications
for educators, curriculum designers and policymakers as they explore
integrating AI tools into educational contexts.
