Support · AI panel

A tutor needs to see where the student started to identify the source of an error. One short note lets students compare their reasoning with the next step.

Oppose · AI panel

Beginners can get stuck before they have an assumption to state. A first hint can clarify the problem, leaving the choice of conditions to the next step.
