Overview
An exit ticket is a short, targeted check-for-understanding sent to a batch of students at the end of a lesson. It typically contains 3 questions and takes students 2–3 minutes to complete. The tutor sees aggregated results immediately, making it easy to identify concepts that need revisiting in the next class.
The Exit Ticket Creator in Tuition.in generates the questions automatically using GPT-4o-mini, grounded in the curriculum chapter you taught. You select the board, grade, subject, chapter and the ticket type, click Create, and the ticket is live for your batch.
How it works
- You select the batch, topic / chapter, and the type of ticket you want.
- The platform queries the knowledge pool with hybrid retrieval (vector + BM25) and passes the most relevant curriculum passages to GPT-4o-mini.
- GPT-4o-mini generates 3 questions in the format you chose (MCQ, rating scale, or short answer).
- The ticket is posted to the selected batch. Students enrolled in that batch see a notification and can respond from their student dashboard.
- You can view the aggregated results any time from the Exit Tickets tab on your batch page.
Creating an exit ticket
- Navigate to Dashboard → AI Tools → Exit Ticket Creator.
- Select the Class / Batch you want to send the ticket to from the dropdown at the top. Only your active batches appear here.
- Select Board → Grade → Subject → Chapter from the cascading curriculum dropdowns. This grounds the questions in the chapter you just taught. Alternatively, type a free-form topic in the Topic field if your lesson wasn't tied to a specific chapter.
- Choose the Ticket Type:
- Multiple Choice (MCQ) — 3 single-answer questions
- 1–5 Rating — 3 confidence / understanding rating questions
- Short Answer — 3 open-ended questions (text response)
- Click Create Exit Ticket. The platform generates and posts the ticket to your batch.
- Share the link or notify students — enrolled students also receive an in-app notification.
Ticket types
| Type | Format | Best used for | Grading |
|---|---|---|---|
| Multiple Choice | 3 × MCQ with 4 options | Factual recall, concept identification | Auto-graded (correct/incorrect) |
| 1–5 Rating | 3 × confidence/understanding rating questions | Self-assessment, difficulty gauge | Averaged score shown to tutor |
| Short Answer | 3 × open-ended text questions | Deep understanding, misconception capture | Responses displayed; no auto-grade |
Viewing results
Results are visible in two places:
- Exit Ticket Creator page — after posting a ticket, the results panel appears below the form showing per-question response counts.
- Batch → Exit Tickets tab — full history with per-ticket response summaries, viewable any time after the class.
For MCQ tickets, you see the percentage of students who selected each option. For rating tickets, you see the average rating per question. For short-answer tickets, you see the list of all text responses.
Past tickets
The lower half of the Exit Ticket Creator page shows the last 10 tickets sent to a batch (select the batch from the dropdown to switch). Each row shows:
- Ticket topic / description
- Date and time sent
- Number of responses vs enrolled students
- A link to the full results
Tips
- Use ratings after new, complex topics. A quick 1–5 confidence rating lets even hesitant students signal confusion without having to write an answer.
- Use short answers for higher-order topics. Asking students to “explain in your own words” surfaces misconceptions that MCQs miss.
- Match the chapter selector to what you actually taught. An exit ticket on Chapter 3 sent to a batch doing Chapter 5 will generate off-topic questions.
- Check results before the next class. The batch page shows which question had the most wrong answers — use that to open the next lesson.
Limitations
- Each ticket contains exactly 3 questions. This is intentional — exit tickets are meant to be short. Use a full test/quiz for longer assessments.
- Short-answer responses are not auto-graded. You read them as qualitative feedback.
- Exit tickets are posted to a batch — you must have at least one active batch to use this tool.
- Students who join the batch after the ticket is posted will see it in their pending items but may miss the live window.
- Questions are generated in English only.
