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.
