A University of Padua study compared two AI feedback systems with teacher feedback in a course involving 238 students. Forty-seven project groups entered the final analysis, and average project scores rose from 23.81 to 27.70 out of 30. The study found bounded evidence of comparability between sources, alongside a substantial ceiling effect. Its results concern a shared assessment design and revised projects, rather than proving general interchangeability between teachers and AI.
