Smarter Grading: How AI is Boosting Student Writing
![When teaching assistants are empowered to readily adopt and refine suggestions generated by an AI feedback system-FeedbackWriter-student revisions demonstrate a quality increase equivalent to moving a student from the 50th to the 70th percentile, attributable to the AI’s capacity to deliver actionable feedback that fosters independent learning-a benefit exceeding that of solely human-provided feedback [latex] (Cohen’s\ d = 0.50) [/latex].](https://arxiv.org/html/2602.16820v1/img/teaser3.png)
New research reveals that pairing teaching assistants with AI feedback tools significantly improves the quality of revisions students make to their work.
