By examining the data through anaccess and opportunity lens, the committee sought to uncover persistent issues that had beenoverlooked because they never ranked as immediate priorities. Input from undergraduate andgraduate TAs, undergraduate and graduate student ambassadors, and surveys from multipleundergraduate cohorts revealed a need for resources to help faculty support TAs in their coursesand for TA training. At this time, neither the college nor the department offered such training.In Fall 2022, we prioritized two key goals that could be readily addressed: 1) reducing TAfrustration stemming from insufficient training, lack

These findings offer evidence-based insights into thestrengths and limitations of AI in educational assessment. To address these challenges, wepropose strategies for leveraging AI-generated quizzes more effectively, such as incorporatingtargeted prompts and interactive workflows. Overall, this paper provides valuable insights andpractical recommendations to enhance the alignment of AI tools with educational goals andimprove the efficiency of quiz creation.1 IntroductionQuizzes and assessments are fundamental in higher
