Subclaims¶
Reading the evidence codes
q is the design tier, i the impact, n the sample, and the kind with its r
the rigour judged within that kind: what each code means.
This claim: no standardized effect is recorded in observations/ for it yet, so no benchmark reading is possible.

q2 · i? · qualitative · r2
Topic modeling (optimized LDA) of a corpus of 214 documents from 50 U.S. universities, totaling 235,118 words. The article reports Topic 1 represented 30% of tokens, Topics 2 and 3 28.8% and 21.3%, and Topic 4 20%. The four topics were: "Integration of GenAI in Learning and Assessment" and three others.
"Topic modeling identified four core topics: Integration of GenAI in Learning and Assessment, GenAI in Visual and Multimodal Media, Security and Ethical Considerations in GenAI, and GenAI in Academic Integrity."
