Ammar Ali Ayub on Nearpeer MDCAT Common Room
Salam Everyone. Important Update. Many of you have told us that teachers don't reply to questions on the discussion forum. We've listened, and we've completely improved the system. From now on, when you post a question, it will follow a new process that helps teachers receive and respond to your queries much more effectively. This means faster communication, better context, and a much higher chance of getting the help you need. (Rest post in the 1st comment)

2. From now on, whenever you have a question, your first step should be to discuss it with the Nearpeer AI. The AI has been trained to answer academic questions instantly and can resolve the majority of your doubts within seconds. Our goal is to help you continue studying without having to wait for a teacher's response.

3. However, we also understand that some questions require a teacher's guidance. If your confusion is still not resolved after discussing it with the AI, you can then post your question on the discussion forum.

4. The new system will ask you about your conversation with the AI before your question is submitted. This information will be shared with the teacher so they immediately understand what you've already tried, what explanations you've received, and exactly where you're still facing difficulty. This allows teachers to focus on solving your actual problem instead of asking the same basic questions again.

1. One of the most common concerns we've heard from you is that teachers don't always reply to questions posted on the discussion forum.
