Create a Professor with Copilot

Overview

Let’s be honest—university assignments can be overwhelming. You’re expected to meet specific criteria, follow complex rubrics, and demonstrate deep understanding… all while juggling other courses and responsibilities.

What if you had a personal assistant that could review your work before you submit it, using the same rubric your instructor will use? That’s exactly what this AI agent does.

By building your own AI evaluation agent using Copilot, you’ll be able to:

  • Get feedback instantly on your writing or projects.
  • Understand the rubric better and how your work aligns with it.
  • Improve your assignments before turning them in.
  • Practice self-assessment and become a more independent learner.

This isn’t about replacing your instructor’s feedback—it’s about helping you grow, reflect, and feel more confident in your academic work.

Learn the Process

Before using Copilot, make sure you have:

  1. Your assignment (essay, report, etc.)
  2. The rubric your instructor uses to grade it.
  3. Some background knowledge or context that helps explain your work (e.g., theories, course objectives, or personal learning goals).

Here’s an example of how to structure a rubric so Copilot can understand it:

CriterionExcellentGoodFairPoor
ClarityWriting is clear, well-structured, and easy to understand.Mostly clear with minor issues in structure or flow.Some parts are unclear or poorly structured.Difficult to understand due to poor writing or organization.
ArgumentationIdeas are well-supported with strong evidence and reasoning.Generally well-supported with some minor gaps.Limited support or weak reasoning.Arguments are unclear or unsupported.
OriginalityDemonstrates creativity and original thinking.Some original ideas are present.Mostly conventional with limited originality.Lacks originality or personal insight.

You can copy this format or adapt it to match the rubric your instructor gave you.

This is where you give Copilot some context. Think of it as telling the AI what it needs to know to fairly evaluate your work.

Example:

This assignment is based on Ausubel’s theory of meaningful learning. The student is expected to connect prior knowledge with new concepts.

Now it’s time to talk to Copilot. You’ll write a message (called a prompt) that includes your assignment, the rubric, and the background knowledge.

Here’s a template you can use:

Hi Copilot, I’d like you to act as an evaluation agent.

Here is my assignment:
[Paste your text here]

Here is the background knowledge you should consider:
[Paste your context or theory here]

Here is the rubric you should use:
[Paste the rubric here]

Please evaluate my work based on the rubric. For each criterion, assign a level and provide a short explanation.

Copilot will give you:

  • A level for each criterion.
  • Feedback and suggestions for improvement.

You can revise your work and ask Copilot to re-evaluate it as many times as you want. It’s like having a study buddy who never gets tired.

This AI agent is here to support your learning, not replace your instructor. Use it to:

  • Reflect on your writing.
  • Understand what’s expected.
  • Build confidence in your academic voice.

You’re not just using AI—you’re learning how to think critically about your own work. And that’s a powerful skill.
