In Spring 2025, the math department rolled Lyceum out to four sections of Calculus II — about 600 undergraduates — as a complement to traditional office hours, the evening study center, and TA shifts. Excerpts from the end-of-semester review below.
The biggest concern going in was simple: would students stop showing up to office hours once they had an AI? The end-of-semester data was the opposite. Office-hour attendance went up — and the questions students brought in were noticeably deeper and more research-oriented.
"The AI took the routine questions. What was left in office hours was exactly the kind of conversation we got into this profession for." — the project lead, in the department's term-end review.
This is the feedback we care about most: not a polished talking point, but each role describing — in their own words — the specific thing Lyceum is solving for them.
"My biggest worry going in was data privacy. Their FERPA documentation was more thorough than the policy our own office wrote. Private-cloud was running in under a week."
"I've taught Calculus for eleven years. This is the first time I felt like I knew more about how my class was thinking before I walked into lecture than after. The Monday digest writes my opening five minutes."
"Used to be I was answering messages until midnight in finals week. Now Lyceum picks up the routine ones and I get to spend that hour with the students who are stuck on something interesting."
"What surprised me most is that it doesn't just dump the answer. One time it asked me, 'why can't you just substitute here?' and I sat with that for a full minute. That was the first time something other than a person had actually taught me."
"About 60% of our students don't have anyone at home who can help with calculus or AP Bio. With Lyceum, they have someone still up at 9 PM willing to help them through it. That's a bigger deal here than any test-score chart."
"What we value most isn't test-score lift — it's that Lyceum can flag a struggling student at 2 AM, so our advisors can reach out by 9 the next morning, before things spiral."
A 30-minute demo is enough to tell whether Lyceum fits your campus. We'll walk through three of the most common student help-requests at your institution — and show you exactly how Lyceum handles them.
