Usage Behaviors of Large Language Models: Taking Undergraduate Students as an Example

This study reveals the usage behaviors of large language models (LLMs) by undergraduate students ( n =56) taking a Management Information Systems course in Spring 2025 at a private university in Taiwan. The study investigates the following: (1) the required courses where students use LLMs, (2) the LLM tools students use, and (3) the paid tools of LLMs students use to assist in their studies. We also examine (1) the association rule analysis of courses using LLMs and (2) the content analysis of the title of an assignment (a word cloud). This study provides firsthand information on the use of LLMs by undergraduate students and offers relevant suggestions for academic settings based on both quantitative and qualitative analyses.
