Results

Students finish the defense without learning the outcome, and see it here when you turn this off. The defense is still judged and recorded either way, and your results screen is unaffected.

The criteria this system ships assess whether a student can defend the work — not who produced it. If your course needs authorship checked, add a criterion of your own saying so.

Limits

Who this course’s start gates are refusing right now, and which rule is doing it. Every number here is the server’s own: this page reports the gates, it decides nothing and refuses nobody.

Your results

What you were told at the end of each defense in this course. Only you can see this.

Results

Automated-defense outcomes for the human review: each attempt's verdict, the feedback the student saw, and suggested follow-up questions. Students never see the questions.

The notes under each follow-up question are generated prompts for your own judgement, not a marking key — they can be wrong about the work. The verdict above is the automated session's; this review is yours.

Question sheet

Questions to ask one student about their own submitted work, in a face-to-face defense. Written from what they submitted — no automated defense is involved, and none needs to have happened. Students never see these.

The notes under each question are generated prompts for your own judgement, not a marking key — they can be wrong about the work. You are running the defense and you decide the outcome.

Added to the instructions the sheet author already follows — the number of questions and their layout do not change. Takes effect on the next sheet you prepare; sheets already on file keep the instruction they were written under.

Assignment

Your work

What you actually completed. This is what the examiner asks you about.

Assignment context

The brief, readings, anything the work was meant to answer. Optional.

Rubric

One document. Its criteria are read out and shown below — those are what this session is judged by. Optional; without one the server's default rubric applies.

Your session is saved as a text transcript, and its results may be shared with your course staff. Your voice audio is never stored.

Replaying a recorded demonstration defense. Nobody said any of this, your microphone is not in use, and nothing is being recorded. The words are the ones on file; the pace and the pauses are reconstructed, because a transcript does not record how anybody sounded.
