Context

This is code generated as part of our course on agentic coding. The code below was written by Claude Code using its default model in late Feb 2026.

Learning Objective

The purpose of this assigment was to help students realize that, in the absence of explicit prompting to this effect, Claude Code (in its current state) is highly unlikely to generate code with a clean separation of concerns. The specific concern we wanted to focus on was the factoring-out of business rules. This is to set up students to learn about business rules, author them separately, and then figure out how to incorporate them into the program: e.g., using something like the RETE algorithm.

The hope is that once students learn this concept, they will recognize it in future tasks, and think to prompt for it to be done more deliberately. Since Claude doesn't do it automatically, it's something they need to be taught abo

Code of Conduct

You have two primary responsibilities:

• Promote an inclusive, collaborative learning environment.
• Take action when others do not.

Professionally, we adhere to ACM’s Code of Ethics. More broadly, a course like INSERT COURSE NAME involves reflection, collaboration, and communication. Computer science has a checkered history with respect to inclusion – in corporate environments, in our classrooms, and in the products we create. We strive to promote characteristics of transparency and inclusivity that reflect what we hope our field becomes (and not necessarily what it has been or is now).

We reject behavior that strays into harassment, no matter how mild. Harassment refers to offensive verbal or written comments in reference to gender, sexual orientation, disability, physical appearance, race, or religion; sexual images in public spaces; deliberate intimidation, stalking, following, harassing photography or recording, sustained d
