ExplainRoute: A Pre-Deployment Audit Framework for Non-Answer-Giving Programming Tutors

Programming tutors should support learners'own explanations rather than immediately providing model answers. We present ExplainRoute, a pre-deployment audit framework for non-answer-giving programming tutors. Given a code line and a learner explanation, it estimates the explanation state and selects one of two bounded...

Correct Diagnosis, Better Feedback: A Symbolic-Verifier for Faithful LLM Tutoring Feedback in Logic Proofs

Effective LLM tutoring depends on correctly identifying the specific error in a student's reasoning before generating feedback. We study this problem in propositional-logic proof tutoring, where student actions can be checked against formal inference rules. We introduce a verifier-grounded architecture that separates d...

Design and Implementation of a Sentence-BERT-Driven Semantic Matching Model for Automated Evaluation of Theory Answers

EvalAI grades theory answers on meaning rather than wording, using Sentence-BERT to measure how semantically similar a student's response is to a lecturer-provided reference answer, showing that semantic grading of this quality can be delivered within a deployable web application without specialised machine learning in...

Teaching a Large Language Model Tutor to Withhold the Answer: A Supervisor Architecture and an Evidence-Driven Method for Tuning Socratic Behavior

A deployed tutoring system that enforces answer-withholding as a per-turn, machine-checkable contract, and a method for tuning that withholding against evidence is reported, offering the measure, diagnose, and fix loop as a reusable recipe for any LLM agent that must refuse a capability it has.

Shorter Reasoning, Earlier Answers? An Evaluation of Reasoning Interfaces

Paired runs of the same question at matched reasoning horizons across 198 GPQA Diamond and 500 MMLU-Pro questions are evaluated, finding that a tight deadline can favor lower effort or a concise instruction, whereas allowing high effort to finish can recover higher final accuracy.
