Abstract:Academic integrity in higher education is increasingly shaped by complex socio-technical environments marked by automated tools, evolving institutional practices, and heightened performance pressures. Within this context, large language models (LLMs) are becoming prevalent in software engineering education, further blurring boundaries around acceptable assistance and authorship. This study investigates how software engineering students describe their emotional experiences after using LLMs in ways they perceive as academically inappropriate. We conducted a cross-sectional survey with 116 undergraduate students. Results show emotionally heterogeneous responses. Indifference was most frequent, including among students who recognized risks to learning and academic standing. Guilt and anxiety were reported in relation to moral discomfort and concern about penalties. Relief and satisfaction were evident primarily in deadline-driven contexts and situations of unclear guidance.
