Spring post-intervention survey (n=386) and student interviews (n=8) added questions on continued conversations; the authors interpret these findings as indicating continuers perceived more utility in the feedback.

"35% of students continued a feedback conversation. Among students who continued AI feedback conversations, 71% preferred AI and peer feedback together, while among those who did not continue the conversation, only 50% preferred AI and peer feedback together"
