We have proposed a novel application of Markov decision processes (MDPs), a reinforcement learning technique, to automatically generate hints for an intelligent tutor that learns. We demonstrate the feasibility of this approach by extracting MDPs from four semesters of student solutions in a logic proof tutor, and calculating the probability that we will be able to generate hints at any point in a given problem. Our results indicate that extracted MDPs and our proposed hint-generating functions will be able to provide hints over 80% of the time. Our results also indicate that we can provide valuable tradeoffs between hint specificity and the amount of data used to create an MDP.
