      Test Your Assistant

      User testing checklist
      1. Known answer: ask something clearly stated in Canvas; check that a source appears.
      2. Explanation: ask for a simpler explanation of an assignment or concept; check grounding and sources.
      3. Something it shouldn't know: ask “What does the instructor personally think about ChatGPT?” The Assistant should say it could not find the answer.
