Follow-up quizzes

Wrote the essay?
Then they can explain it.

Students answer in-person questions about the essay they submitted, to assess whether they really wrote it. Combine generic questions with AI-suggested questions specific to each essay, reviewed and edited by you. MATCHA’s AI then offers a preliminary authorship rating from 0 to 5, with an explanation.

In practice

A short follow-up, grounded in their own work.

After an at-home essay, students take a short quiz in person about what they submitted: an argument, a source, or a choice they made. Their answers help you assess understanding and authorship in the context of the essay itself.

  1. Start from the submission

    Collect essays through cloud submission, then combine generic questions with AI-suggested questions specific to each student’s essay. Quizzes are unavailable at Privacy Level 4; Level 3 allows only generic questions, with no AI assessment.

  2. Make the questions yours

    Review and edit the AI-suggested questions as part of the grading workflow, before students take the quiz in person. MATCHA’s AI then rates each student’s answers from 0 to 5, with an explanation.

  3. Grade it pass/fail

    Make the quiz a pass/fail grade component, so students who didn’t do the work are penalized without academic offence charges. A qualified human should review every failing quiz.

Follow-up quizzes

  • MATCHA supports instructor-managed, AI-assisted follow-up quizzes designed to assess whether a submitted essay was really written by the student.
  • Quizzes can include both generic and student-specific, AI-suggested questions. AI-generated questions can be reviewed and edited as needed as part of the grading workflow before students take the quizzes.
  • Students take the quiz in person to verify their authorship of a submitted essay.
  • Our AI will offer a preliminary assessment of authorship based on quiz responses, providing a rating between 0 and 5 with an explanation.
  • We recommend making quizzes pass/fail grade components so students who didn't do the work are automatically penalized without having to pursue academic offence charges. Failing quizzes should be reviewed by a qualified human every time.
  • Follow-up quizzes require cloud submission and are unavailable at Privacy Level 4. Privacy Level 3 allows generic instructor-selected questions, but not student-specific questions or AI assessment.
