| Challenge: | Multiple-choice questions (MCQs) are easy to administer and grade . but crafting high-quality distractors remains labor-intensive and limited scalability . |
| Approach: | They propose to automate the generation of distractors in math MCQs by using large language models to generate distractors. |
| Outcome: | The proposed methods can generate valid distractors, but they are less adept at anticipating common errors or misconceptions among real students. |
