The paper describes a pilot study of a generative AI practice platform designed to give immediate, scaffolded feedback to students in a large mathematics class. By moving human oversight to the verification of solutions rather than real‑time grading, the platform aims to reduce delays while maintaining trust and accountability. The study investigates student engagement, perceived value, and reliability of the AI feedback, and explores how these findings might apply to other engineering subjects.

The paper introduces a verifier‑guided explainable reasoning framework for educational question answering that integrates gold‑anchored QLoRA, a task‑aware symbolic router, and group‑relative RLVR. It adapts Qwen2.5‑3B‑Instruct with field‑weighted QLoRA supervision, routes logic problems to a FOL/Z3 verifier and physics problems to a symbolic solver, and uses verifier feedback for candidate evaluation, self‑revision, and reward construction. Experiments on 438 held‑out examples show that RLVR boosts reasoning depth (P3) from 50.68 % to 72.20 %, while symbolic verification improves answer reliability at the system level.

The paper proposes using large language models (LLMs) to identify disagreements among models as a way to focus expert effort on revising codebooks for large‑scale text annotation. Three expert feedback methods are evaluated: editing LLM‑generated revisions (Codebook Verifying), answering questions about disagreements (Question Answering), and labeling disagreement cases with rationales (Rationale Labeling). Experiments on tutoring‑session transcripts show that Rationale Labeling achieves the highest LLM‑labeling accuracy (64.9%) compared to the expert‑revised codebook (57.8%), with Question Answering also outperforming the baseline (60.5%).
