Essays & Humanities

Nuanced analysis, not keyword matching

Humanities essays require understanding argument structure, evidence quality, and rhetorical sophistication. Ednius evaluates thesis clarity, logical flow, source integration, and originality of thought—not just whether students mentioned the right terms.

PHIL 201 — Ethics Essay
AI Graded
Prompt
Evaluate Kant's categorical imperative as a framework for modern ethical decision-making.
Student Response (excerpt)

Kant's categorical imperative, particularly the universalizability principle, provides a robust framework for ethical reasoning. When we consider whether an action could be universalized without contradiction, we establish a clear test for moral permissibility...

Strong grasp of universalizability. To reach excellence: engage with critiques (e.g., Hegel's abstraction concern) and address conflicting duties.

I was skeptical AI could evaluate argument quality. But the feedback on thesis development and evidence use rivals what I'd write myself—if I had unlimited time.

STEM & Mathematics

Partial credit that makes sense

STEM problems have multiple valid solution paths. Ednius doesn't just check final answers—it analyzes methodology, identifies where reasoning went wrong, and awards partial credit for correct approaches even with computational errors.

Problem
A 2kg block slides down a 30° frictionless incline. Find acceleration and normal force.
Student Work

Forces: mg sin(30°) = ma
a = g sin(30°) = 9.8 × 0.5 = 4.9 m/s²
Normal: N = mg cos(30°) = 2 × 9.8 × 0.87 = 17.1 N

Points
AI Feedback

Excellent methodology. Minor note: cos(30°) ≈ 0.866, giving N ≈ 17.0 N. Carry extra precision through calculations.

My engineering students get feedback on their approach, not just whether the final number is right. That's pedagogically what we need.

Beyond "does it compile"

Code grading isn't just about correct output. Ednius evaluates algorithmic efficiency, code style, documentation quality, and software engineering principles. Students learn to write code that's not just functional, but maintainable.

Assignment
Implement a function to find duplicates in an array. Optimize for time complexity.
Student Code

def find_dupes(arr):
  seen = set()
  dupes = []
  for x in arr:
    if x in seen: dupes.append(x)
    else: seen.add(x)
  return dupes

Good O(n) solution. Issues: (1) Use find_duplicates for clarity, (2) Add docstring, (3) Use set for dupes to avoid duplicate duplicates.

The AI catches things autograders miss—inefficient nested loops, unclear naming, missing docstrings. It's like having a TA who actually reads the code.

Question 4
Explain the difference between mitosis and meiosis. Why is this distinction important for genetic diversity?
Student Answer

Mitosis produces identical cells for growth/repair. Meiosis produces gametes with half the chromosomes and involves crossing over. This allows offspring to differ from parents.

Good foundation. Missing: (1) Division count difference, (2) Independent assortment, (3) Evolution connection. See Ch. 9.3 on genetic variation sources.
