Why Understanding the AI Process Matters for IB Students

Knowing how AI evaluates your work helps you use it more effectively. By understanding the data pipelines, rubrics, and feedback algorithms behind Jojo AI, you can better interpret suggestions, improve your drafts meaningfully, and gain confidence in its reliability.

What Powers Jojo AI’s Coursework Grader

LLM-Based Essay Scoring, Calibrated to IB Markbands

RevisionDojo’s Jojo AI uses a fine-tuned large language model (LLM) trained on thousands of IB-standard essays and coursework submissions. These are matched to official IB grading criteria, creating structured feedback aligned with rubric expectations. (revisiondojo.com)

Data-Driven Consistency and Calibration

Jojo AI continuously evaluates output consistency by benchmarking AI-generated scores against real coursework data, including supervised teacher marks. Many students report near-exact alignment—especially in non-math subjects. One Reddit user noted: “AI marks were almost the same marks” as predicted moderated results. (Reddit)

Behind the Scenes: The AI Grading Workflow

  1. Upload & Preprocessing
    • Uploaded files are parsed to extract sections (introduction, claims, RLS, data analysis, etc.)
  2. Rubric Matching
    • Each essay segment is mapped to criteria like Research Question, Evidence, or Critical Thinking.
  3. Scoring & Feedback Generation
    • Jojo AI generates mark estimates and structured feedback with recommendations (e.g., include more counterclaims, refine evaluation language).

Jojo AI’s guidance reflects both mark scheme language and Rubric Band A descriptors. (revisiondojo.com, revisiondojo.com, revisiondojo.com)

Limits & Ethical Boundaries of AI Feedback

⚠️ Not Perfectly Human

AI feedback can misalign with nuanced IB expectations—especially in subjects like math or when stylistic nuance is critical. Anecdotal reports show mismatches in math IA scoring, though humanities and TOK tend to align closely. (Reddit)

⚖️ Ethical Use in Coursework

RevisionDojo emphasizes that AI should support—not replace—your original thinking. Final submissions must be in your own words. IB treats AI-generated writing as a special resource: plagiarism is possible if unedited or uncredited. (revisiondojo.com)

How Jojo AI Enhances Student Outcomes

  • Faster Iterations: Feedback on early drafts lets you revise multiple times before supervisor review.
  • Strategic Improvement: Helps refine focus, evidence selection, structure, and reflection across coursework components.
  • Data Consistency: Modeled after real IB samples for alignment with markband expectations.
