How the TA relates to assessments

The TA is separate from oral assignments, roleplay, and vid tickets, but shares the same knowledge base. Strong documents improve all modalities.

Oral assignments use conversation AI with exam-specific rubrics; the TA uses general tutoring behavior from customize settings.

Setup time

Most teachers configure a usable TA in 3–5 minutes after syllabus upload, then refine over the first week of term.
