Claims¶
- The visualizer's flagging mechanisms flagged all tested logs from cases already known to involve plagiarism while still requiring student-level review [+W]
- The programming-process replay was the most prompt-intensive view to develop, requiring 31 prompts to work reliably and handle edge cases [+W]
- In a five-teacher pilot in a 160-student introductory programming course, teachers valued rapid process-level insight and the pilot drove iterative usability improvements [+W]
